Marginalized Conflict Podcast Series 


Colgate University PEACE 111

In fall 2008, members of the Introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies course at Colgate University embarked on a collaborative project to understand and interrogate 20th century histories of war and violence, as well as its resolutions. As part of this endeavor, students and faculty analyze and disseminate information about marginalized conflicts. By ‘marginalized’ we mean conflicts left unaddressed – either in our class examination or in the broader frame of existing historical knowledge. We aim to shock, surprise, and provoke reflection.

You can listen to each episode by simply clicking on a link below, downloading the file to your computer to listen to later, or by subscribing to the Marginalized Conflicts podcast series.

Here is more information about podcasting at Colgate. If you are encountering problems, our podcasting producers Rich Grant and Ray Nardelli can help.



Episode 01: Violence in Southern Thailand

Tyrell Haberkorn, postdoctoral fellow in Peace & Conflict Studies

In July 2007, nearly 400 citizens were arrested as suspected "terrorists" involved in Islamic insurgency in the three southern-most provinces of Thailand. Denied knowledge of the evidence against them, they were given the option of being formally charged under the criminal code or undergoing a four-month "occupational training" course. This podcast examines these detentions as part of the spectrum of violence in southern Thailand.

Episode 02: The Cambodian Genocide and the Continuing Effects of War after Conflict Resolution

Katherine Clark '11

On April 17, 1975, the Khmer Rouge invaded the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, and drove the inhabitants of the city to the countryside. The new leadership forced city-dwellers into agricultural communes, with hopes of bringing Cambodia into a new era. Any resistance to the new movement was met with violence and execution. During the period that followed over two million people perished in the Cambodian Genocide. However, the death toll did not end with conflict resolution. Instead, land mines, a product of the civil unrest, violence, and hatred, continue to kill and maim civilians. The number of casualties from land mines are much too high through out Cambodia and in over 65 other countries. What are the implications of such statistics?

Episode 03: The Armenian Genocide

Miriam Neustadt '11

From 1915 to 1918, the Ottoman Empire, today known as Turkey, brutally and systematically murdered 1.5 million Armenian Christians. The event was considered quite successful. In fact, predecessors like Adolf Hitler followed the model of the Ottoman government when organizing his Holocaust during WWII. Considered the first modern genocide, the Armenian Genocide still goes formally unrecognized in Turkey and the United States. How can such atrocity go unrecognized after ninety years?

Episode 07: Conflict Diamonds and Human Rights Violations

Because these diamonds are passing through the diamond trade and reaching parts of Europe and America, many consumers are buying diamonds that have cost people their lives. This pod cast examines the inhumanity surrounding conflict diamonds, and purposes ways in which consumers can take a stand against the violence surrounding diamonds from conflict areas around the world.

Episode 08: South Africa under Apartheid

Andrew Eldredge '11

From 1948 to 1990, South Africa functioned under a system of state racism. Under apartheid, non-white South Africans were subjected to oppressive rule and flagrant human rights violations. Over the past two decades, South Africa transformed into a democratic state and emerged as a promising light in a land scorched of hope. In the coming years, South Africa must embrace its role as a regional leader and continue to reform to become a more tolerant society.

Episode 13: The Darfur War

Brian K Gitau '11

The Darfur war has been on the mass media spotlight for a while now but less is said about how it all started. The conflict between the anti government militia and the pro- governments militia had its roots on the migration of Chadian Arabs in to Sudan. In addition, alienation of the non Arab communities by the Arab elite in Sudan also contributed a lot to the genesis of the Darfur War. Since the war began, its impact on the people has been horrendous. People have fled from Sudan, others have died and for those who have survived; every day is filled with trauma from the events that have epitomized Darfur. This podcast examines the genesis of the war and its impact but, it also highlights the efforts that are been made by the international community in terms of helping the affected people in Sudan.

Episode 14: The Arab-Israeli Conflict

Mark Miller '11

Episode 15: My Lai Massacre

Melissa Giusti '11

Within a four hour span, between 400 and 500 Vietnamese civilians in My Lai were killed by American soldiers during the Vietnam War. Somehow, the United States military was able to cover up the massacre until members of the press reported the truth. Still, nobody was held seriously responsible for the atrocities and what took place in My Lai receives very little attention today. This podcast questions how and why this happened, as well as how to prevent similar situations which already appear to be occurring.

Over the course of history, Iraq has had many types of conflicts that continue to influence the country today.

Episode 19: Psychological Effects of Torture

Sydney Fields '11

At Libertad Prison, the inmates were subjected to physical and psychological torture, which manifests itself in the effects seen after release. Around the world, there are many institutes that support people who have suffered from torture, especially in helping them cope with past experiences. In particular, they focus on post traumatic stress disorder, which plagues many of these people and disables them from returning to a normal life. Psychological effects of torture vary from person to person but in every case are truly demoralizing.

John Dohse '12

On the 23rd of October 2002 the "9th Division of the Chechen army," took approximately 700 civilians hostage in a Moscow theater.

Eric Spencer '12

For two decades, a rebel group known as Lord's Resistance Army has been abducting children in Northern Uganda, and enlisting them in the Army's ranks.

Episode 22: Soviet-Afghan Conflict and Covert U.S Intervention

Matthew Miller '11

This podcast examines the events surrounding the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan as well as the efforts by the United States to covertly aid the Mujahideen resistance. This podcast also examines how failures in the reconstruction efforts by the United States following the Soviet withdrawal began the eventual rise of power of Islamic extremists we deal with today. It is argued that the role of the Soviet-Afghan conflict in the fall of the Soviet Union coupled with failures in reconstruction make this conflict a pivotal transition point between the Cold War era and the era we live in today.

Episode 24: Racism in Rwanda Leading up to the Genocide

Michael Dinneen '11

The podcast covers how racism was the catalyst for the division of the Rwandan Nation. The early European colonizers were among the first to separate the two main Rwandan ethnic groups. The Tutsi were identified as the "elite" while the Hutu were labeled as inferior. The division was further accentuated by the Protestant and Catholic Church's lack of action. The Church did not provide any protection for its clergy who were victims of discrimination. The Hutu developed a resentment for the Tutsi who had gained a higher status in society only by their ethnicity. This was the beginning of the conflict that would later result in a full scale genocide of the Tutsi, the minority population.

Episode 25: Arab-Israeli Conflict

Kathryn Tull '12

In the late 19th century, the Zionist movement began; Noone could have known how long and how intensely it would affect the Middle East. It started a battle for homeland between Jews and Palestinians that still rages on today. The fight is one of the most complicated of our time. Several nations play key roles. Moreso, the land is holy to both sides and neither is willing to give it up. Only time will tell if the conflict can be truly resolved.

Episode 27: Abu Ghraib Prison Scandal

Alex Mavrovitis '11

In late 2003 the Abu Ghraib prison scandal began when members of the 205th military intelligence brigade began using excessive torture and abuse as their interrogation methods. The incidents began in mid-September and continued to the ending of 2003. After much suspicion, an investigation was launched about the prison and what was going on. After the discovery of the photographs taken of the incidents, it was clear that there was significant evidence supporting the claims of the 44 reported incidents. Although most army officials denied knowledge of the incidents, several were tried in court, and up to seven received jail time. This podcast examines the incident from the very beginning to the point where some justice was finally found and the incident was resolved.
