Darius Rejali, a leading expert on government interrogation and torture who is frequently interviewed by media outlets around the world, will share his insight with the Colgate community during a public lecture at 7 p.m. Oct. 22 in Love Auditorium.

Using historical data gathered from his research conducted on several continents, Rejali will frame the modern debate surrounding torture, specifically the treatment of terror suspects by the Central Intelligence Agency.

Students often are asked to put their thoughts on paper. In an Introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies course, they also were asked to put their thoughts on MP3 audio files.

The end result of this collaborative project was 31 episodes of the Marginalized Conflict Podcast Series, which are available here or on iTunes.

In their audio essays, the students analyze past and present conflicts in places such as East Timor, Darfur, Northern Ireland, and West Papua.
