In this episode, we delve into "Chernobyl's Radioactive Memory: Confronting the Impact of Nuclear Fallout" a thesis by Haley Laurila from the University of Michigan. Laurila explores the long-lasting and often invisible effects of nuclear power on communities and environments through the lens of Chernobyl’s transnational memory.

We discuss how memory can help expose the destructive consequences of nuclear disasters, offering a deeper understanding of the slow violence inflicted on bodies and spaces.

By examining Chernobyl's portrayal in film, literature, and tourism, this episode challenges the notion of Chernobyl as an isolated event and uncovers the global implications of nuclear power. Tune in as we reflect on how this memory can provoke responsibility and envision a non-nuclear future.
