Darius Rejali Professor of Political Science Department of Political Science Reed College 3203 SE Woodstock Blvd Portland, OR 97202-8199, USA (503) 517-7346 Office: Eliot 404 Email: Darius.Rejali@reed.edu My name is Darius Rejali. I am a Professor of Political Science at Reed College and a Carnegie Scholar (2003-05). My work concentrates on violence in modern societies, and particularly on modern torture. I am trained as a comparative political scientist, political philosopher and social theorist, and so my writing reflects both concerns for the causes and effects of violence, as well as what it can tell us about the human condition and how our world is changing. My latest book, Torture and Democracy, will be released shortly in November 2007. I am currently engaged in my next project with Princeton University Press, Approaches to Violence. You may be interested in learning more about my recent articles as well as my first book, Torture and Modernity: Self, Society and State in Modern Iran (Westview, 1994). Allow me to direct you to my personal webpage for further information on my writing, courses, and activities. Personal Website
