Young people are an important part of nuclear weapons’ history. But despite their significant presence, historical records and scholarly research have paid scant attention to youth participation in nuclear politics. In this ‘third nuclear age,’ Franco Castro Escobar argues there is a growing need to record and understand the voices of young antinuclear organisers in the twenty-first century
Franco studies youth antinuclear activism in the twenty-first century.
His doctoral thesis traces young people’s early encounters with the concept of ‘nuclear weapons’ and their motivations to join antinuclear organisations.
His research is part-funded by the Hiroshima Peace Institute, the David Bruce Centre for the Study of the Americas, and Keele University’s Department of Humanities and Social Sciences.
