While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Legal Geopolitics of the Ocean
Mat Coleman (Geography) and Kendra McSweeney (Geography)

Although the ocean is frequently understood as a legal wilderness where state authority comes undone, our programming will explore how states territorialize oceans as quasi-legal jurisdictions by exporting military, regulatory, logistics, customs, immigration, and law enforcement operations offshore, and by building extraterritorial maritime infrastructures such as islands, platforms, and naval bases.

No pre-registration is required and a light lunch will be served to attendees. This is an in-person event only.
