Stephanie Freeman

Stephanie L. Freeman (Grad ’12, ’17) has published Dreams for a Decade: International Nuclear Abolitionism and the End of the Cold War with the University of Pennsylvania Press. Drawing on newly declassified material from multiple continents, Freeman shows that nuclear abolitionism brought together surprising coalitions of grassroots activists and government leaders during the 1980s. Together, these grassroots and government nuclear abolitionists reshaped U.S. and Soviet approaches to nuclear arms control and Europe in a way that brought the Cold War to an end.
