March 03, 2004

GALESBURG -- Tad Daley, a specialist on American foreign policy and an advisor to presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, will give two talks on Tuesday, March 9, at Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois. Daley will speak at 4 p.m. in the Wilson House, 182 W. South Street, and at 7:30 p.m. in the Alumni Room, Old Main. Both talks are free and open to the public.

A 1978 Knox graduate, Daley worked from 1987 to 1995 in the International Policy Department at the RAND Corporation, a non-profit "think-tank." He has written and lectured extensively about nuclear weapons, the United Nations, and American foreign policy.

In addition to serving as National Issues Director and Senior Policy Advisor for the Kucinich campaign, Daley is a visiting scholar at the Burkle Center for International Relations at the University of California - Los Angeles.

Daley earned his bachelor's degree at Knox in political science, a master's degree at the University of Southampton in England, a law degree at the University of Illinois, and a doctorate at the RAND Graduate School of Policy Studies. He also led The Campaign for a New UN Charter, to promote reforms of the United Nations system and the concept of global citizenship. In 1999 he served as vice president of the Global Security Institute, founded by the late U.S. Sen. Alan Cranston, and in 2001 he was a candidate for U.S. Congress in the 32nd district in Los Angeles County, California.

The talks are co-sponsored by three Knox student groups, the Alliance for Peaceful Action, the Knox Campus Greens, and the Knox Democrats.
