Tackling Trident

Focusing on the intersection of academia and activism, this book chronicles two groundbreaking conferences where scholars engaged in discussions while simultaneously protesting against the UK's Trident nuclear weapons system. It features the participants' conference papers that articulate the scientific rationale for opposing nuclear arms and details the year-long Faslane 365 campaign. The authors challenge the perceived legitimacy of nuclear defense and critique the notion of academic neutrality, advocating for social and personal change through scholarly engagement.
