JINS 315 - Nuclear Weaponry

We study nuclear weapons from the discovery of the atomic nucleus to the present. A given instantiation of the course may also approach the subject from the point of view of the physicist, the culture-critic, or other ways of knowing that instructor and students bring to the conversation. The class is discussion-oriented, and a few labs may be incorporated into the class meetings, with a considerable amount of reading and writing.
