Elliott School Professor Hugh Gusterson Awarded Guggenheim Fellowship
Hugh Gusterson has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to complete a book tentatively titled "Tinkering with Armageddon: Nuclear Weapons Science After the Cold War."
Based on many years of fieldwork, the book reconstructs the U.S. decision to give up nuclear testing after the cold war and analyzes the ways in which the community of nuclear weapons scientists has reinvented itself in the absence of its core practice for the production of nuclear knowledge.
