Episode 04: Genocide Studies | Dr. Marie Berry
We speak with Dr. Marie Berry about genocide, political violence, international law, and the systems that make mass violence possible. We begin with the basic question: what is genocide?
We then gradually move into the harder questions: how ordinary people become involved, why states avoid the word, what counts as genocide, and why naming it can shape memory, justice, and international response.

Episode 03: War & Violence | Dr. Hilary Matfess
Why is war so attractive? What drives people to take up arms? And why does violence shape nations, memory, and identity long after the fighting ends?
In this conversation, Dr. Hilary Matfess breaks down war and violence through the lenses of status, citizenship, masculinity, power, and human experience.
This isn’t a lesson in battles, dusty maps, and old dates. It’s a deeper look at what war means, why it endures, and why it still defines so much of our world.

The US-Israeli war with Iran has seen the Trump administration pursue regime change through a form of direct, unilateral military action that is highly novel in the post-World War II international system. Nik Vacano explores how this reflects a turn back to 19th-century gunboat diplomacy and argues that the strategic shortcomings of this approach make it highly inadvisable.
