'International Order' and Arms Production in West Yorkshire (and Beyond)
Huddersfield
With Tom Pettinger, Lecturer, University of Bradford Peace Studies and International Development.
All welcome
The talk explores the state of institutions and law built by Western powers during their formal colonial rule. It discusses how the foundations of this 'order' implicate the present - including via counterterrorism in UK public institutions - and how it shapes the weapons able to be built and sold in Yorkshire today. The talk also investigates public contestations with police and arms companies, in the region.
Tom is a lecturer at the University of Bradford, who works on questions of security and terrorism.

8th Annual Student/Young Pugwash Conference
Location: King's College London, Franklin-Wilkins Building (Room 1.10) / Online via zoom
Student / Young Pugwash (SYP) is a network of students, researchers and younger people interested in a wide range of peace and security issues. We are the youth wing of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, founded in 1957 by Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, Joseph Rotblat, and other prominent public figures and scientists.
Our annual conference is an opportunity for young and emerging experts to share their ideas and research from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds. Conference attendees will be a mix of established experts from the Pugwash community (e.g. diplomats, scientists, academics, campaigners) and students / young researchers.
