Join us for the continuing series of monthly conversations focused on the Catholic approach to nuclear weapons that will engage students from Catholic Universities, which include Notre Dame, Georgetown, Catholic University, Northwestern, and university partners in Japan, Africa, South America, Mexico, and more. Conversations will address the moral implications of using the bomb, current and critical nuclear issues, and what can be done to move forward toward the Papal vision of “nuclear zero.”

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, and Veteran's Day, the topic of discussion will be the humanitarian impacts of nuclear weapons and uranium mining for nuclear weapons production, particularly on Navajo Nation, as well as the people of Kazakhstan, and the efforts to extend the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act.
