Dear Community, You are cordially invited to friendly meet with Dr. Leakhena Nou, Medical Sociologist and Professor of Sociology at California State University, Long Beach.
When: Saturday, May 2, 2009 @ 4pm - 6pm Where: Wat Khemara Rangsey - 1594 Cunningham Ave. San Jose, Ca 95122 Dr. Nou will share with our community about actively participating in the ongoing Khmer Rouge Tribunal (formally recognized as the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia- ECCC). As survivors of the Khmer Rouge one could file complaints or act as civil parties in the procedural justice to try senior KR defendants for war crimes against humanity. The ECCC have made little effort to include the Cambodian diaspora in the procedural process, and for this reason Dr. Nou is spearheading the Cambodian Diaspora Victims’ Participation Project to ensure that voices from exiled survivors are not overlooked in the ECCC trial proceedings. The project is organized under the auspices of her organization – the Applied Social Research Institute of Cambodia (ASRIC) in partnership with the Asian Pacific American Institute (A/P/A) @ New York University.

As the first in a series of war crimes tribunals begins this week, we discuss the impact of the Khmer Rouge on the Cambodian people and the significance of the proceedings. In the second half hour, we talk with Terry Tempest Williams about her latest book, "Finding Beauty in a Broken World." In the book, Williams finds inspiration in the study of mosaics -- a pursuit which takes her from Ravenna, Italy to Bryce Canyon, Utah.
