Panel Discussion - Invisible Threats: Human Rights, The Environment, and Art

This panel addresses how the risk of nuclear disaster continues to threaten global health, human rights, and the environment.

Speakers include Ivy Meeropol, filmmaker and director of Indian Point, Adriana Petryna, Edmund J. and Louise W. Kahn Term professor of anthropology and director of MD-PhD Program in Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania, Yasufumi Nakamori, senior curator of International Art, Tate Modern, and moderator Nikki Reisch, legal director of the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice, New York University School of Law.
