On 8 June, SIPRI hosted the third iteration of a workshop on nuclear disarmament education ahead of the Alva Myrdal Centre for Nuclear Disarmament (AMC) annual conference. The workshop brought together leading educators, experts and researchers to reflect on how issues related to nuclear policy, including nuclear disarmament, are taught in different countries.
The workshop included an exchange of methodological best practices on means to represent diverse perspectives. Participants also examined how technologies can be incorporated in nuclear policy-related research, teaching and learning, and considered approaches to teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels and in diverse settings. Discussions built on findings from the previous workshop, which focused on incorporating national and regional perspectives.
Workshop sessions were moderated by Dr Sibylle Bauer, SIPRI Director of Studies, and Dr Wilfred Wan, SIPRI Programme Director, in their capacity as co-leaders of the AMC Working Group on Nuclear Disarmament in Policy and International Law.
