Nuclear Disarmament at a Crossroads
AMC Cross-Disciplinary Conference 2023
In 2023, the centre will host its second Cross-Disciplinary Conference Nuclear Disarmament at a Crossroads in Uppsala, Sweden, on June 14-15 and online (in part). This conference is intended as a space to share and discuss research and ideas on nuclear disarmament, and aims to combine insights from the social sciences, natural sciences and other disciplines, as well as from practical experience.
The two-day conference will feature opening and closing plenary sessions as well as interactive thematic sessions to present current research. Some sessions will be more technical in nature and some dominated by social science contributions, but an important aspect of the conference is promoting cross-disciplinary exchanges. In addition to scientific sessions we aim to include activities facilitating exchanges between academics, practitioners, civil society and the interested public.
In a short time, international affairs have changed dramatically with the re-emergence of nuclear weapons as a focal issue. As we move into 2023, it appears likely that nuclear weapons will become even more important over the foreseeable future. Hence, learning about the preconditions for nuclear disarmament in a broad sense becomes all the more urgent.
Issues that we need to understand better range from risk reduction, arms control, and non-proliferation in the immediate term to achieving disarmament and security communities in the long term. In 2022, the Alva Myrdal Centre for Nuclear Disarmament held its first cross-disciplinary conference, with research presentations from many different fields of inquiry and international participation in Uppsala and online.
