"Forum on Nuclear Strategy: Disarmament & Deterrence in a Dangerous World" features high-ranking public policy experts, influential spiritual leaders, and prominent academics exploring strategic and ethical responses to one of the most urgent issues facing humanity: the rising threat of nuclear war.

Considered the first of its kind since the American Catholic bishops reshaped the nuclear weapons debate in the 1980s, the forum was held on Sept. 7, 2024 at the University of New Mexico. The forum was led by the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies at the University of Southern California, the Endowed Chair of Roman Catholic Studies at the University of New Mexico, and UNM’s Religious Studies Program.

The forum included nuclear experts, policy makers, and the intellectual architects of disarmament and deterrence approaches to nuclear weapons policy from Catholic and secular strategic perspectives discussing solutions aimed at securing long-lasting peace across the globe.

Participants included: Rose Gottemoeller, former deputy secretary general of NATO and former U.S. undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security; Christopher Ford, former U.S. assistant secretary of state for International Security and Nonproliferation; Thomas “Thom” Mason, director of Los Alamos National Laboratory; Cardinal Robert McElroy, Bishop of San Diego; Most Rev. Joseph Mitsuaki Takami, Archbishop Emeritus of Nagasaki; Maryann Cusimano Love, associate professor of International Relations, The Catholic University of America; Richard Love, professor of National Security Strategy, the National Defense University; Gerard Powers, director of Catholic Peacebuilding Studies at the University of Notre Dame’s Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies; and thought leaders representing local residents and Indigenous communities impacted by nuclear weapons testing.
