SUMMARY:CIRS Faculty Fellow Talk: The Amazingly Idiosyncratic History of Passports by Edward Kolla
DESCRIPTION:When COVID19 hit\, many inveterate travelers like myself were dazed by how quickly something we took for granted had disappeared. Gone\, suddenly\, was our ability to grab our passport\, hop on a plane\, and be in a new country—sometimes even without the hassle of getting a visa. But something else we took for granted\, back in those halcyon days\, was the very need for passports to enjoy international mobility. Though ubiquitous and seemingly all-necessary\, passports are something of a historical fluke. While travel documents of all sorts date back to the start of recorded history\, the story of how we arrived at these little booklets—which\, by the way\, are totally uncodified in international law—is quirky\, complex\, and counter-intuitive. \n\n\n\n\n\nEdward Kolla | The Amazingly Idiosyncratic History of Passports | March 29\, 2021\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExtra Q&A | The Amazingly Idiosyncratic History of Passports | April 2021\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Eddie Kolla has taught history for 10 years at Georgetown University in Qatar. He has also held research fellowships\, most recently\, at the Institute for Historical Studies at the University of Texas at Austin and the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg\, Germany. His work sits at the intersection of history\, international relations\, and law and includes Sovereignty\, International Law\, and the French Revolution (Cambridge\, 2017).
