Description:
Radford University Peace Studies presents the public debate titled "Is War Ever Justifiable?" on Monday, February 12, 2018 in the Bonnie Hurlburt Hall Auditorium.

Writer and military ethicist Peter Kilner and journalist and peace activist David Swanson will discuss the topic. Professor Glen T. Martin will serve as moderator.

“The issue of war versus peace defines our lives, our economy and our future. Both participants in this debate are highly respected and widely known," said Professor Glen Martin.

Kilner served more than 28 years in the U.S. Army as an infantryman and professor at the U.S. Military Academy. He deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan to conduct research on combat leadership. He is a graduate of West Point and earned a Ph.D. in education from Penn State and a master’s degree in philosophy from Virginia Tech.

Swanson is an author, activist, journalist, radio host and director of WorldBeyondWar.org. A three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, he has authored the books “War is a Lie” and “War is Never Just.” Swanson holds a master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Virginia.

The debate is open to the public, and admission is free.
