SUMMARY:Legal Responses to Minority Rights in Post-Conflict Societies
DESCRIPTION:This month’s graduate student workshop  examines how political upheavals reshape the rights and recognition of minorities.\n\n\nThis session examines how political upheavals reshape the rights and recognition of minorities. By tracing how states\, international organizations\, and revolutionary leaders redefine who counts as a protected subject\, the two papers show how marginalized groups invoke and contest legal categories to secure mobility\, political voice\, and substantive equality. \nPaper Abstracts: \nJewish Refugees in the Age of the Jewish Nation: Soviet Jews as “Cold War Refugees” or “Israeli Repatriates” 1971-1991Alexandra (Sasha) Zborovsky \nIn 1951 members of the United Nations gathered to draft the modern definition of “refugee.” There they distinguished Jewish survivors of the Holocaust as the ultimate archetype. But as the Cold War intensified\, the term “refugee” expanded to include millions of new victims of displacement\, ranging from Hungarian to Indochinese migrants. By the 1970s\, as hundreds of thousands of the Soviet Union’s Jewish citizens—targets of de facto antisemitism—began emigrating from the world’s first socialist state\, the world was once again forced to contend with Jews as refugees. In the decades to follow\, European states and Jewish philanthropic agencies administrated the departure of over one million Jews from the USSR\, many of whom were denaturalized by the Soviet state. This time\, however\, Western humanitarian organizations found themselves at odds with Israeli diplomats and Jewish nationalists. An agreement could not be reached: with the existence of a Jewish nation\, could a Jew be a refugee? Few dared argue that Soviet Jews met the criteria of demonstrating a “well-founded fear of persecution.” It was the issue of statelessness that sowed discord. While the Israeli government argued that all stateless Soviet Jews were automatically Israeli citizens and did not qualify as refugees\, Western states and NGOs campaigned for a freedom of movement that rejected this model of national repatriation. My work reveals not only how states and world leaders manipulated concepts of citizenship\, refugeehood\, and repatriation in order to direct and control the mobility of Soviet Jews\, but how Soviet Jews also engaged these terms to retain agency over their transit and resettlement processes. Their experiences unveil the inherent contradictions of refugeehood. Designed to augment individual human rights\, the political category remained tethered to the nation-state. \nBetween Elite Strategy and Mass Mobilization: Women’s Political Empowerment in Anti-Colonial Social RevolutionsJohanna Reyes Ortega \nWhy do some social revolutions advance women’s rights while others do not? Although scholars agree that conflict can open windows of opportunity for gender equality\, existing explanations overlook how the type of revolution shapes these outcomes. I argue that anticolonial social revolutions are more likely to expand women’s rights than revolutions aimed solely at domestic redistribution or regime change. Because anticolonial struggles require broad-based mobilization against a foreign power\, revolutionary leaders must articulate inclusive visions of liberation that transcend class and gender divisions. These ideological appeals become institutionalized through mass organizations that link women to the new state\, embedding equality within the regime’s legitimacy and state-building project. By contrast\, revolutions confronting domestic elites can rely on narrower\, class-based coalitions and pragmatic appeals\, resulting in symbolic rather than substantive gender reforms. Consistent with this theory\, cross-national evidence since 1900 shows that women’s political empowerment increases most sharply following social anticolonial revolutions. A complementary case study of the 1959 Cuban Revolution demonstrates how the regime expanded women’s citizenship to consolidate revolutionary authority—equating women’s liberation with the revolution’s success and suppressing resistance to egalitarian reform. The findings underscore how bottom-up mobilization can generate new channels of accountability and democratic bargaining\, even under authoritarian regimes. \nSpeaker bios: \nAlexandra (Sasha) Zborovsky is a PhD Candidate in History at the University of Pennsylvania and a Visiting Instructor at Bryn Mawr College. She is a historian of the former Soviet Union with a focus on Jewish experience and twentieth century mobility regimes. Her work has been supported by the Association for Slavic East European and Euriasian Studies\, the Center for Jewish History\, and Penn’s Center for the Study of Ethnicity\, Race\, and Immigration. Her research investigates the departure of more than one million Jews from the former Soviet Union throughout the mid-to-late twentieth century and the diplomatic\, ideological\, and social circumstances at the foundation of this great emigration. \nJohanna Reyes Ortega is a PhD Candidate in Political Science at the University of California\, Berkeley\, with a focus on comparative politics\, gender\, and the political economy of development. Her research examines the long-term effects of conflict and social movements on gender dynamics in Latin America\, with a focus on Mexico\, Cuba\, and Central America. In her dissertation\, she examines the determinants of gender inequality in post-WWII revolutionary contexts. Her work applies mixed causal inference and machine learning methods that employ large-scale administrative\, survey\, and archival data.

SUMMARY:COP30 to COP31: Will Climate Cooperation Wane Before Emissions Peak?
DESCRIPTION:.\n\n\nTen years after the Paris Agreement demonstrated a profound collective will to address global emissions\, the world’s efforts to confront the accelerating climate crisis reached a pivotal moment at the UN Climate Conference (COP30) in the Amazon. Emissions continue to rise as multilateralism is met with more and more challenges. \nWhile COP30 participants acknowledged the Paris Agreement’s past successes\, the proceedings highlighted a difficult reality: the political will needed for momentous multilateral agreement remains elusive. Instead\, progress was characterized less by formal consensus and more by achievements outside the official process. These “outside track” successes included initiatives led by Brazil\, Colombia\, and the Netherlands to make progress on transitioning away from fossil fuels; the launch of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF); new momentum on carbon pricing and markets; and various efforts related to non-CO2 gases. Parties did agree on a goal to triple adaptation finance\, but they did not MANAGE a robust response to countries’ climate action plans also known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). \nThe next Climate Conference (COP31) will be a partnership between Türkiye and Australia. A central question will be if there is a “new normal” or if the formal process can revive ambition and multilateralism. Is the WORLD pivoting permanently toward a model where the most significant climate action happens on the outside track? \nJoin Perry World House for this critical expert discussion with current and former climate negotiators. \nSpeakers \nSue Biniaz most recently served as the principal deputy special envoy for climate at the U.S. State Department\, where\, among other things\, she led the U.S. team on international climate negotiations. From 1989 to 2017\, she was the State Department’s lead climate lawyer and played a role in the development of all the major climate agreements\, including the Paris Agreement. As deputy legal advisor and in other positions\, she was responsible for legal issues related to U.S. treaty practice\, the environment\, oceans\, outer space\, the Western Hemisphere\, Europe\, Asia\, Somali piracy\, human rights\, law enforcement\, and private international law. She is a senior fellow and lecturer at the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs. \nAnne Rasmussen is a distinguished Samoan climate expert and a leading voice for vulnerable nations in international climate diplomacy. With over a decade of experience in high-level negotiations\, she currently serves as the Chief Negotiator for the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS). \nA graduate of the University of the South Pacific with a background in geography and postgraduate expertise in climate change\, Rasmussen began her diplomatic career at COP18 in 2012. Since then\, she has held pivotal roles in the UN climate process\, including leading negotiations on climate finance for the Green Climate Fund and serving as a Vice-President at COP27. \nDr Sally Box leads the International Climate Negotiations Division in the Australian Government’s Department of Climate Change\, Energy\, the Environment and Water. She is Australia’s Head of Delegation to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and has led the Australian negotiations team at the four most recent UN Climate Conferences of the Parties. \nPrior to this role\, Sally served as the Australian Government’s Threatened Species Commissioner\, where she led the development and implementation of the Threatened Species Strategy and the environmental response to the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires. \nSally has over 20 years’ experience working in the Australian Public Service in the fields of climate change and environment policy development\, program delivery\, regulation\, and communications. She has a PhD in Plant Sciences from the Australian National University and a Bachelor of Science (Honours) from the University of Adelaide. \nSally was awarded a Public Service Medal in 2022 for her leadership of the environmental response to the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires. \nSally lives in Canberra\, Australia\, with her husband\, four children and much-loved black labrador.
