The Judith Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) 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. Our focal areas include climate change and conflict, nuclear security, governance of emerging technologies, and human rights, race, and gender.
Scholars gathered at Cornell to discuss the contemporary dangers posed by nuclear weapons, how we arrived at this moment, and what can be done to build a more secure and peaceful future.
