I tried to bring professional knowledge and experience to that effort, to become what I later called a witnessing professional. Nuclear and climate issues interacted in that early study, and have continued to be inseparable for all of us. I draw upon examples of witnessing professionals over the course of our struggles with these two planetary threats. In each case, they had to expose and combat the malignant normality, the dangerous prevailing assumptions and narratives, of their time. In that way, these professionals have contributed to important social movements. They have also deepened–as we too can–the ethical dimensions of professional work. - Reproduced Hiroshima survivors, Nuclear disaster 25096 Daedalus NUCLEAR DISASTER AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 390421 IIPA IIPA 2021-02-23 149(4), Fall 2020: p.25-32 AR124398 2021-02-23 AR
