To share a little about the lecture and the speaker/discussants:

Prof. John Clammer, Professor of Sociology at the UN University, Tokyo  will speak about life after the Fukushima nuclear disaster as a lived experience throwing open for discussion the questions of nuclear safety and health .

Dr. Corinne Kumar, Founder Director, CIEDS Collective and Secretary General, El taller International,Tunisia as one of the discussant who has worked on peace and nuclear disarmament and human rights nationally and internationally over the last thirty years will initiate a discussion on the politics of nuclearisation, nation state and development.

We also hope to have a voice from the resistance movement against the Koodankulam nuclear power plant.

The lecture will be preceded by a film screening on Fukushima:"Yet we seed", directed by Koike Natsumi. The film includes various interviews of organic farmers in Fukushima, after the accident.

We hope that the lecture will deepen the debate on our choices of science and technology and its implications for humanity.
