Listen to the Guantanamo Teach-In Presentation
 WHAT: Antioch University Seattle hosted a day-long Guantanamo Teach-In on October 5. Antioch was one of 300 universities to participate in the nationwide teach-in on issues related to detainees at Guantanamo Bay and U.S. practices that involve detention and torture. The national teach-in began as a project of the Seton Hall Law School, which hosted a simulcast teach-in to the participating colleges and universities. A Noise Room was set up on Antioch's campus that featured video feeds from the national event, as well as a book display and take-action materials. “What Torture Means to ‘Us’ and What Torture Means to ‘Them,’” were the topics of the keynote speech capping the day's activities.
WHO: The keynote speaker, John Van Eenwyk, is founder of the International Trauma Treatment Program in Olympia, and one of the premiere psychotherapists who work with those affected by torture. Van Eenwyk is also a clinical instructor at the University of Washington School of Medicine and an ordained priest in the Episcopal Church. He has lectured and counseled in places such as Gaza, Palestine, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and Switzerland.
LISTEN: The archived audio file of the keynote presentation by John Van Eenwyk is available to download or to listen online.
