Date: Thursday, December 4
Start Time: 5:30pm ET

For decades, Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs has rigorously explored the tension between perpetual conflict and the value of human life. While debates on war and peace are far from novel, the importance of achieving just peace is heightened today by current regional wars, frozen conflicts, and the deployment of new military technologies.

On December 4 at 5:30pm ET, Carnegie Council will host a panel discussion as part of the Ethics Empowered: Leadership in Practice series. This session features two distinguished experts reflecting on the state of war in 2025 and the obstacles to achieving just peace. The Ethics Empowered: Leadership in Practice event series is specifically tailored for students and young professionals to enhance their subject-matter expertise in geopolitics and applied ethics. Register to attend this panel discussion and Q&A.

Speakers:

  • Moderator: Peter Hoffman, Associate Professor of International Relations, The New School
  • Panelist: Asha Castleberry-Hernandez, Adjunct Fellow, American Security Project 
  • Panelist: Scott Silverstone, Professor of International Relations, United States Military Academy at West Point
