war.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span style=\"color: #990000;\"><a style=\"color: #990000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/nuclearproject\/\">Forum on Nuclear Strategy: Disarmament &amp; Deterrence in a Dangerous World<\/a><\/span>\u201d will be held from <strong>1:45 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7 2024<\/strong> in the university\u2019s Student Union Building Ballroom A. Considered the first of its kind since the American Catholic bishops reshaped the nuclear weapons debate in the 1980s, the forum is led by the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at the University of Southern California, the Endowed Chair of Roman Catholic Studies at the University of New Mexico, and UNM\u2019s Religious Studies Program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe forum is an important opportunity for experts in religious and secular fields to learn from each other as they explore modern nuclear strategy decisions,\u201d said Most Rev. John C. Wester, Archbishop of Sante Fe, whose 2022 pastoral letter <span style=\"color: #990000;\"><a style=\"color: #990000;\" href=\"https:\/\/archdiosf.org\/living-in-the-light-of-christs-peace\"><em>Living in the Light of Christ\u2019s Peace: A Conversation Toward Nuclear Disarmament<\/em><\/a><\/span> calls for dynamic discussion on nuclear disarmament. \u201cIt\u2019s precisely these conversations that will lead to a clearer understanding of the threat that nuclear weapons pose and how best to navigate the waters of the perilous arms race we find ourselves in today.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe forum is an important opportunity for experts in religious and secular fields to learn from each other as they explore modern nuclear strategy decisions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The forum will include nuclear experts, policy makers, and the intellectual architects of disarmament and deterrence approaches to nuclear weapons policy from Catholic and secular strategic perspectives discussing solutions aimed at securing long-lasting peace across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith regional conflicts escalating and the threat of nuclear war rising, humanity is at a critical moment,\u201d said Dr. Richard L. Wood, president of the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at USC. \u201cOur forum will be a platform for in-depth discussion and debate that will explore our current global realities and seek tangible solutions to the rising threat of nuclear conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important that we host this discussion near the birthplace of nuclear weapons and with leading experts from differing perspectives regarding nuclear strategy,\u201d Dr. Wood added.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the Los Alamos and Sandia nuclear weapons laboratories, the region is home to the Trinity Site, where the first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, and the Kirtland Underground Munitions Maintenance and Storage Complex, the largest storage site of nuclear warheads in the U.S. arsenal.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cOur forum will be a platform for in-depth discussion and debate that will explore our current global realities and seek tangible solutions to the rising threat of nuclear conflict.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Among the forum\u2019s participants will be: Rose Gottemoeller, former deputy secretary general of NATO and former U.S. undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security; Thomas Countryman and Christopher Ford, both former U.S. assistant secretaries of state for International Security and Nonproliferation (Obama &amp; Trump administrations respectively); Thomas \u201cThom\u201d Mason, director of Los Alamos National Laboratory; Cardinal Robert McElroy, Bishop of San Diego; Most Rev. Joseph Mitsuaki Takami, Archbishop Emeritus of Nagasaki; Maryann Cusimano Love, associate professor of International Relations, The Catholic University of America; Richard Love, professor of National Security Strategy, the National Defense University; Gerard Powers, director of Catholic Peacebuilding Studies at the University of Notre Dame\u2019s Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies; and thought leaders representing local residents and Indigenous communities impacted by nuclear weapons testing.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will explore how strategic and ethical thinking regarding nuclear weapons needs to be reconsidered today in light of the geo-political rivalries between the U.S., a rising China, revanchist Russia, and smaller national actors. Those rivalries could all too quickly degenerate into nuclear war \u2014 a scenario made more urgent by the rise of cyberwarfare, hypersonic weapons, and the new potential for AI-generated cyberweapons to take control of the nuclear strike capacities of competing nations.<\/p>\n<p>These risks have led multiple nations \u2014 including the U.S. \u2014 to expand their nuclear war-fighting capacity. This deterrence approach dominates modern strategic policies on nuclear arms. Meanwhile, some nuclear strategists through the last four decades \u2014 in part prompted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/upload\/challenge-peace-gods-promise-our-response-1983.pdf\"><em><span style=\"color: #990000;\">The Challenge of Peace<\/span><\/em><\/a>, the pastoral letter published in 1983 by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops \u2014 have argued that the only rational and ethical response to these realities is multilateral and verifiable nuclear arms control and disarmament.<\/p>\n<p>The forum will be preceded by closed-door dialogue between the participants, in which they will challenge one another\u2019s thinking and explore potential common ground. The public forum will include a report-out from the closed-door sessions, in which participants will summarize their own thinking and whether it might evolve in light of the dialogue; presentations from local community members; a chance for public reactions and dialogue with speakers; and a welcome reception featuring remarks from Archbishop Wester, along with a reflection by Archbishop Emeritus Takami<strong>, <\/strong>an in utero atomic bomb survivor who lost several members of his extended family in the August 9, 1945 atomic bombing on the city.<\/p>\n<p>Journalists interested in attending should contact IACS Communications Director Doug Morino at <span style=\"color: #990000;\"><a style=\"color: #990000;\" href=\"dmorino@usc.edu\">dmorino@usc.edu<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The forum will be livestreamed on the IACS YouTube channel at <a href=\"about:blank\"><span style=\"color: #990000;\">YouTube.com\/@iacsusc<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Advance registration is required for both in-person and streaming options.<\/p>\n<p>To register, visit <span style=\"color: #990000;\"><a style=\"color: #990000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/nuclearevent\/\">dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/nuclearevent\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>For a more information and a full list of participants, please visit <span style=\"color: #990000;\"><a style=\"color: #990000;\" href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/nuclearproject\/\">dornsife.usc.edu\/iacs\/nuclearproject\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at USC:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies (IACS) is an independent global research center located at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
