Teaching the Cambodian Genocide Through Testimony — Via Zoom

April 17 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

Dr. Alexis Herr, a comparative genocide scholar, and Channy Chhi Laux, survivor of the Cambodian Genocide, will discuss how to use survivor testimony to educate about genocide and human rights. 

Event Description

Short Hair Detention: A Memoir of a Thirteen-Year-Old-Girl Surviving the Cambodian Genocide offers an intimate view of the Cambodian Genocide (1975-1979) as experienced by survivor Channy Chhi Laux. Channy originally wrote her memoir to help communicate her experiences of genocide and survival to her children. Having completed her manuscript, however, she saw the value in sharing it more widely. Please join us for an intimate workshop with Dr.Alexis Herr, a comparative genocide scholar, to learn how to use survivor testimony to educate about genocide and human rights.
