Arms control and nuclear nonproliferation have been defining issues of US foreign policy throughout the 20th century and into today. Since the start of the Cold War, women diplomats have played an essential role in drafting, negotiating, and regulating global arms control and nonproliferation policies.

Join us in celebration of Women’s History Month as we explore the contributions of three women diplomats whose careers have advanced our understanding and practice of arms control and nuclear nonproliferation. In conversation with Ambassador Bonnie Jenkins, Ambassador Laura Kennedy, and Ambassador Eileen Malloy, we will discuss their experiences working on arms control, security, and peace issues and the advancements that are still needed to ensure that women and women of color have a seat at the table.

Meet the Panelists:

• • Reva Gupta (moderator): Foreign Service officer and former public affairs officer for the National Museum of American Diplomacy.
  • The Honorable Bonnie Jenkins: founder and executive director of the Women of Color Advancing Peace, Security, and Conflict Transformation (WCAPS); former coordinator for threat reduction programs.
  • The Honorable Laura Kennedy: former deputy assistant secretary for European and Eurasian affairs, former US ambassador to Turkmenistan and to the Conference on Disarmament, and former US special representative for Biological Weapons Convention issues.
