The Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy presents Hugh Gusterson, Professor of Anthropology, Science and Technology Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Gusterson’s lecture “Nuclear Nightmares: The Culture Proliferation in Today’s World” will address issues of nuclear proliferation in the world, why states are failing to come to agreement on non-proliferation, and why there is reason to be afraid for the future. He is the author of “Nuclear Rites: A Weapons Laboratory at the End of the Cold War,” and “People of the Bomb: Portraits of Americas Nuclear Complex.” He is also the co-editor of “Why America’s Top Pundits Are Wrong.” Gusterson has published scholarly articles in Cultural Anthropology, the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, and Science, Technology and Human Values. His op-eds have appeared in the Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. He will speak on Thurs., October 27, at 6:00 p.m. in the Pell Center, Young Building, corner of Bellevue and Ruggles Avenues, Newport. RSVP by noon on Thurs., 341-2927 or by e-mail pellcenter@salve.edu.
