*Jim Walsh* is a Research Associate in MIT’s Security Studies Program.   
He is an expert in international security and has been to both Iran and North  
Korea to discuss nuclear issues. He has testified in Congress and written  
many articles and books about nuclear weapons. He will talk about his recent  
meeting with Iran’s President Rouhani, the current situation of the nuclear  
weapons states, and the challenges and opportunities facing disarmament./

/
*Elaine Scarry* is the Walter M. Cabot Professor of Aesthetics and the  
General Theory of Value at Harvard University. Scarry is the author of eight  
books, most recently /Thermonuclear Monarchy/. In it, she contends that  
nuclear weapons eliminate the citizenry and the legislature from the sphere  
of decision-making about war. Scarry shows how elements of the US  
Constitution can be used as tools to abolish nuclear weapons./
