Join us for a "Europe in the World" lunch talk by Leyla Tiglay. This series - an initiative of the Jean Monnet Chair in European Security and Defense, Kaija Schilde, explores human, national, and European security from specific disciplinary angles. The aim of the series is to prompt critical reflection by a larger public on human and regional security informed by cross-national experiences and a variety of disciplinary lenses as well as to introduce or emphasize EU perspectives into ongoing debates around security integration and global challenges.Leyla Tiglay is a Ph.D. candidate at Ohio State studying the international history of the Cold War and decolonization. She is currently an Ernest May Fellow in History and Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, Belfer Center for Science & International Affairs. She is also a Peace Scholar Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP). Previously, Leyla held fellowships from the Center for Grand Strategy at the Bush School of Government and the Mershon Center for International Security Studies. She holds an MA in Political Science from Boston University.
Tiglay's dissertation examines the nexus of nuclear history and decolonization, exploring how major crises of decolonization affected nuclear decision-making during the Cold War. This project looks more specifically at decolonization in Africa, anti-nuclear movements, and France's nuclear tests in the Sahara. Great Power diplomacy through the Test Ban negotiations, the mobilization of science and technology in nuclear decision-making, and American grand strategy are major background themes of this research. Broadly, it aims to merge bottom-up and top-down politics of disarmament and nuclear decision-making to offer fresh insights into the formation of the international nuclear regime.
