[Gus Zahariadis]

Wednesday, May 5, 2021 - 12Noon

Wait….What? How Much? US Military Spending and National Priorities​ <https://radius.mit.edu/programs/wait%E2%80%A6what-how-much-us-military-spending-and-national-priorities>

What are our national priorities? How does the U.S. military budget compare to federal spending on other programs?  With the looming crisis of climate change, the crushing force of the pandemic, and the existence of vast inequality, what exactly does “national security” mean?  

Join Subrata Ghoshroy <https://sts-program.mit.edu/people/visitors-affiliates/>, MIT STS Research Affiliate, and MIT Radius <https://radius.mit.edu/home/> for an informative and compelling conversation with Dr. Heidi Peltier <https://www.bu.edu/pardee/heidi-peltier/> on national priorities and US military spending. They will also discuss possible solutions to unwind the complicated web of the military-industrial complex and create a more sustainable and equitable society. 

Dr. Peltier is a Research Fellow at the Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future and Director of the "20 Years of War" Project at Boston University.
