Strangelove\, an American president calls a drunken Soviet Premier with bad news: “…Dimitri\, you know how we've always talked about the possi bility of something going wrong with the Bomb...” The “something” is a deranged commander who has launched a nuclear attack on the Soviet Unio n\, which leads to nuclear apocalypse. While a global apocalypse has yet t o materialize\, the history of nuclear weapons is full of other things goi ng wrong. Indigenous lands have been destroyed\, hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people have died of cancer\, and trillions of dollars ha ve been spent on weapons that one U.S. Defense Secretary ultimately conclu ded were “useless.”\n\nToday the majority of the world’s nations hav e joined the Treaty for the Prohibition on Nuclear Weapons (TPNW)\, and su rveys suggest strong public support for the TPNW\, even in nations that po ssess nuclear weapons. However\, the nine nations in the world that have n uclear weapons are continuing a costly and dangerous nuclear arms race whi ch endangers all life on earth. In this full-day symposium\, distinguished experts from diverse disciplines—including physics\, political science\ , history\, feminist studies\, and peace and conflict studies—will discu ss contemporary dangers of nuclear weapons\, how we got here\, and how we can work for a more secure and peaceful future.\n\nThis symposium is cospo nsored by the Judith Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies and th e Department of Government at Cornell University\, on the occasion of Prof essor Matthew Evangelista’s retirement from Cornell. Professor Evangelis ta’s scholarship makes groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of the nuclear arms race and means of ending it\, and we are pleased to h onor his distinguished career in peace and conflict studies.\n\nPanels:\n\ n10:00 AM to 11:30 AM: Nuclear Arms Races and How to Stop Them\nRay Acheso n (Princeton)\, David Cortright (Cornell)\, Lisbeth Gronlund (MIT)\n\n11:3 0 AM to 12:00 PM: Lunch Break\n\n12:00 PM to 1:15 PM: Keynote: Benoît Pel opidas\, Sciences Po\, Paris\n\n1:15 PM to 1:30 PM: Coffee Break\n\n1:30 P M to 2:45 PM: New Perspectives on Nuclear Disarmament and Arms Control\n"B anning or Facilitating the Test?

With exclusive\, on -the-ground access\, OVERBURDEN follows rangers\, scientists\, and forest defenders\, including ranger Moses Darpey\, biologist Grace Kotee Zansi\, chief park warden Catherine Kuku Dolo\, and community leaders Saye Thompso n and Dada Konkah\, who tend the land\, protecting endangered species and sustaining livelihoods as a billion-dollar company falls short of promised support. They are joined by Shadrach Kerwillain\, a Liberian conservation biologist and Mnqobi Mamba\, a bat scientist from Eswatini\, who navigate the tangled frontier where mining meets conservation and where memory\, s cience\, and power collide.\n\nThe film captures their intimate encounters with the mountain’s extraordinary inhabitants\, from the only true vivi parous toad found nowhere else on Earth to resilient cave-dwelling bats an d adaptive chimpanzees. Grace works to reconcile clashing farmers and chim panzees through coexistence strategies. Moses searches for the rare Nimba toad on high peaks\, while Mnqobi revisits a cave to see if the bats he he lped relocate as part of the company’s biodiversity offset program are s till there.\n\nOVERBURDEN tells a powerful story of resilience and transfo rmation in a landscape shaped by industry yet alive with possibility. Thro ugh vivid cinematography and deeply rooted storytelling\, the film follows communities and nature enduring and adapting in the face of relentless gl obal forces. OVERBURDEN celebrates the power of mutual aid\, showing how p eople and ecosystems persist\, rebuild\, and thrive against overwhelming o dds.\n\nTikcets are free!
