 nTOPIC\n\nThis history of colonial legacies in United Nations (UN) peace
 keeping operations from 1945 to 1971 reveals how UN peacekeeping staff r
 econfigured the functions of global governance and sites of diplomatic p
 ower in the post-war world.\n\nDespite peacekeeping operations being cri
 ticised for their colonial underpinnings\, our understanding of the ways
  in which colonial actors and ideas influenced peacekeeping practices on
  the ground has been limited and imprecise.\n\nIn this talk\, Dr Margot 
 Tudor will investigate the UN’s formative armed missions and uncover the
  officials that orchestrated a reinvention of colonial-era hierarchies f
 or Global South populations on the front lines of post-colonial statehoo
 d. She will demonstrate how these officials exploited their field-based 
 access to perpetuate racial prejudices\, plot political interference\, a
 nd foster protracted inter-communal divisions in post-colonial conflict 
 contexts. Bringing together histories of humanitarianism\, decolonisatio
 n\, and the Cold War\, Dr Tudor sheds new light on the mechanisms throug
 h which sovereignty was negotiated and renegotiated after 1945.\n\n\nSPE
