Dr. Allen Pietrobon Guest Lectures with Hiroshima University

Dr. Allen Pietrobon, Associate Professor of Global Affairs for the College of Arts and Sciences, was invited to lecture during the Nuclear History Summer Camp at Hiroshima University. The event was partly to mark the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing. The Hiroshima Organization for Global Peace hosted an intensive seminar for young student researchers from around the world for nine days of lectures, discussions, and exchanges. Experts from Japan and around the world served as the instructors for this seminar.

Dr. Pietrobon comments “With the continued proliferation of nuclear weapons is one of the most pressing security issues of our time…it is imperative that we train a new generation of young nuclear scholars who are able to see the world through a more diverse lens and tackle these growing challenges diplomatically rather than through the use of force, which was the goal of this seminar”.

We are proud to have faculty who actively engage in dialogue pertaining to global politics and statesmanship.
