Anthropologist and author Denis Foley (Lemuel Smith and the Compulsion to Kill: The Forensic Story of a Multiple Personality Serial Killer, 2003) will examine questions about evil in a department talk on Friday, April 15, at noon in Social Sciences 110.
Foley, who teaches at the College, has interviewed perpetrators and victims of many crimes to answer questions such as: What it was like dealing with and defining evil? How do we conceive of evil? How is it dealt with and depicted in our culture?
The talk is sponsored by the Anthropology Department. For more information, contact Kathy DeLorenzo at ext. 6715.
