Values & Interests: Nuclear Ethics

Date: Tuesday, May 19
Start Time: 5:30pm ET

We are walking a fraying nuclear tightrope. Russia, China, and the U.S. are expanding their nuclear capabilities; extended deterrence is strained to the breaking point; and proliferation among middle and smaller powers appears inevitable.

But as history has clearly shown, the catastrophic consequences of nuclear weapons are anything but hypothetical. The recently released PBS documentary Bombshell captures the human, political, and ethical toll of the bomb—both for its Japanese victims and for the United States, the democracy that chose to wield such destructive power—and the narratives constructed by America's leaders and media to justify its use.

Register for this special event on May 19 at 5:30pm ET, held in partnership with PBS. The expert panel and Q&A will be moderated by acclaimed journalist Ann Curry as part of Carnegie Council's keynote public affairs series, Values & Interests.

Moderator:

• Ann Curry, Journalist

Panelists:

• Emma Belcher, President, Ploughshares
• Ben Loeterman, Director/Producer, American Experience: Bombshell
• Joel Rosenthal, President, Carnegie Council
