Join the National Association of Scholars on Tuesday, September 19, at 2 pm ET for "American Innovation: The Manhattan Project."

The Manhattan Project, the name for America's atomic bomb program, was one of the most tightly kept secrets of the war. What is the story behind this secretive program? How was the atomic bomb developed, and how was it kept such a close secret? How has America's atomic program changed since the inception of the Manhattan Project?

This event will feature Cynthia Kelly, founder and president of the Atomic Heritage Foundation; Tom Ramos, a physicist and author of From Berkeley to Berlin: How the Rad Lab Helped Avert Nuclear War; and Alex Wellerstein, a historian of science and nuclear technology and a professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology.

Join the National Association of Scholars on Friday, September 22, at 3 pm ET to discuss “Restoring the Sciences: Indigenization vs. Open Inquiry.”

Does “indigenous knowledge” complement or conflict with open inquiry? Recent events, such as the popular belief that Canadian indigenous residential schools kept mass graves and battles over the repatriation of archaeological artifacts and indigenous remains, have thrown the question into stark relief.

This event will feature Frances Widdowson, a Canadian political scientist who specializes in academic freedom issues, indigenous affairs, and identity politics in universities. Widdowson has received many threats, public and private, for her skeptical comments on the “unmarked” graves controversy. The most public affair saw a mob of students disrupt her speech during a scheduled lecture at the University of Lethbridge.

This event will be moderated by J. Scott Turner of the National Association of Scholars.
