What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?

On Thursday, the 3rd of February my group and I got the chance to meet Samuel Hickey and Monica Montgomery for a virtual informational interview on zoom. They work for an organization called, The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation.

During the interview, they told us about current nuclear tensions, as well as how their organization works. We also learned about what people our age can do to help with nuclear disarmament. This is especially important because kids living in 2022 don’t view nuclear weapons as a big threat, and are not educated on the topic, even though its a very large threat.

My partner, Edward Turbek, and I earned a lot from the interview, and are grateful for the opportunity to interview them.
