The public is invited to a “Nuclear War Teach-in/Die-in” presentation by history professor Dr. Lori Clune from noon to 1:30 p.m. Friday, March 28, in the Social Sciences quad.

The event will cover a brief history of nuclear weapons, explore current challenges, and include info about organizations tied to anti-nuclear activities. A reflective "Die-In" portion will follow and provide 10 minutes for quiet reflection.

Clune is an expert on U.S.-Soviet Union relations, espionage, and the Rosenberg spy ring and court case in the 1940s and early 50s.

She was featured in the March 2024 Netflix documentary series “Turning Point: The Bomb and The Cold War.” More info on that series, which also covers related international events since World War II, is linked here.

The public is invited to bring a blanket or towel to sit on, and those needing accommodations can contact Dr. Amber Crowell, acrowell@csufresno.edu.
