In this conversation, Joanna and Tim will give a brief overview of their book Atomic Tunes: The Cold War in American and British Popular Music. Joanna will also provide an in-depth discussion of women songwriters, such as Joan Baez, Malvina Reynolds and Peggy Seeger, who raised awareness on and protested numerous issues related to the Cold War, the effects of nuclear testing on the environment, the destructive nature of war, and the human cost of creating and storing nuclear weapons.
The Nuclear Waste Scholar Series is funded through a Public Participation Grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology.
