Lecture: “Imagining the Future of War: Robots, Lasers, and Emerging Technology in Armed Conflict”  ? Speaker: Dr. Matthew Parent  Join us for a thought-provoking evening with Dr. Matthew Parent as he explores the evolving landscape of military technology and its portrayal in popular culture. War has always served as a backdrop for fiction, and today’s fantastical weapons are increasingly relevant in both media and real-world conflict.  In this engaging lecture, Dr. Parent will examine how societies perceive military technologies, from their material capabilities and histories to their representations in fiction. Focusing on emerging innovations like directed energy ("laser") weapons and autonomous systems ("robots"), he will discuss how these understandings shape political and military discourse.  As the Impact and Outreach Coordinator for the Project on Managing the Atom, Dr. Parent brings a wealth of knowledge on the interplay between technology and society, particularly regarding nuclear weapons, AI, and directed energy systems. His academic background includes teaching international relations and security studies at Clark University and the University of Connecticut, alongside extensive research on public perceptions of military technology.  Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insight into the future of warfare from the enlightening Dr. Matthew Parent!
