Cornell University Programs and Issues being covered.
uris_1.jpg

The Peace Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program devoted to research and teaching on the problems of war and peace, arms control and disarmament, and more generally, instances of collective violence.

The Program is affiliated with Cornell University's Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies. Students and faculty involved in the program come from a wide variety of Cornell units.

The program supports a number of activities during the year focused on our central missions of supporting student and faculty teaching and research, cross-campus interactions, and off-campus outreach. Besides hosting workshops and lectures, the program co-sponsors a number of speakers, symposia, and other special events with other campus groups. We especially encourage anyone on campus or in the community to attend our weekly seminar at noon on Thursdays in Uris Hall. Click on the calendar of events to view upcoming topics and details. Please join us.

Culture, Identity and Conflict in World Affairs
 

Robert Kagan (Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace)

The relationship between culture, identity, and conflict has long been a focus of faculty research and student interest at Cornell. This Academic Symposium, as part of the Inaugural celebration, will kick off a campus-wide conversation by delving into the significance of cultural allegiances and formations in world affairs.

Discussants to include Isabel Hull, the John Stambaugh Professor of History, and Peter J. Katzenstein, W.S. Carpenter Jr. Professor of International Studies.

“Will There be an AQ Khan of Nanotechnology? Anticipating Future Proliferation Threats in a Globalized World.” 
 
 Margaret Kosal (Science & Technology Advisor, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs, U.S. Department of Defense). PSP Technology and Security Seminar and The Bovay Program in the History and Ethics of Engineering. Lunch will be provided.

Through the science fiction of Star Trek and other quasi-fictional works, the notion of nanotechnology—the science of the very small—has entered the collective public psyche. To date, three broad topics have dominated discussion regarding nanotechnology risk: (1) health and environmental consequences, (2) privacy and legal implications, and (3) uncontrolled self-replication and artificial intelligence. Beyond these concerns, is it time to start thinking about the possibilities and implications of nanotechnology for international security? This talk will explore the concept of threat anticipation of the potential misuses of nanotechnology.

" The test-tube synthesis of a chemical called poliovirus: The simple synthesis of a virus has far-reaching societal implications" 

Eckard Wimmer (Distinguished Professor, Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, Stony Brook University School of Medicine. As described in Science (9 August 2002, vol 297, p. 1016-1018), Professor Wimmer used PCR techniques to synthesize the polio virus from its published genetic sequence. This publication attracted media and political attention concerning whether such work was a "blueprint" for would-be bioterrorists, and has triggered public debates over whether certain scientific research should not be published in the open scientific literature. Professor Wimmer will be coming to campus to talk about his involvement in this public controversy. T
