Editor’s note: A witness seminar is a method of gathering oral history from a group of people who were historical “witnesses” to an event or series of events. Witness seminars thereby offer access to communal (though by no means consensual) recollections, tempered by “real-time peer review”. 1 This witness seminar, on the history of the BWC took place on October 10, 2014 at the University of Sussex in front of a small specialist audience. The panelists were: Jeanne Guillemin, a medical anthropologist and author, who for 25 years was a Professor of Sociology at Boston College and for the last 10 years has been a Senior Fellow in the security studies program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Matthew Meselson, Professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University, which he joined in 1960. Julian Perry Robinson, Emeritus Professor at the University of Sussex Science Policy Research Unit, which he joined in the early 1970s. Together, Meselson and Perry Robinson established the Harvard Sussex Program, an ongoing collaborative effort, formally initiated in 1990, but extending back many years before that, to provide research, training, seminars and information on CBWs disarmament. The final panelist, Nicholas Sims, holds an Emeritus Readership in International Relations from the London School of Economics and Political Science, where he taught from 1968 until his retirement in 2010.
