Politics Professor Maryann Cusimano Love serves on Pope Francis' Covid-19 Task Force. You can read about her work on the task force here and here.
Additionally, Professor Cusimano Love organized a week long seminar on nuclear disarmament in January. The seminar included students from Catholic University, as well as students from the University of Notre Dame, Georgetown University, and from 13 countries. In addition to learning about the current arms control and disarmament context, the students also took "virtual field trips" to organizations including the Nuclear Threat Initiative and Arms Control Association, and learned how to get internships and jobs in the field.
The next event in the series will take place on Feb. 9, 2021. More info is posted here. Previous events in the series include a November event on the New START Treaty, which can be read about here.
