Cambodia, from then to now: Memory and plural identities in the aftermath of genocide

INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM ON CAMBODIA

WHAT
This bilingual (French/English) colloquium aims to foster a deeper understanding of the various ways the Khmer Rouge genocide has shaped Khmer identity, both in Cambodia and in the diaspora. This event will be a rare opportunity to explore Cambodian history and the life stories of Cambodian Montrealers through the testimonies, lectures, films and theatre extracts that have emerged from the Montreal Life Stories project over the last 4 years.

WHO
The colloquium is being organised by the Group Cambodia, made up of members of the Communauté Angkorienne du Canada, the Majjhimaram Pagoda, and the University-Community Research Alliance (CURA)/ Life Stories of Montrealers Displaced by War, Genocide and other Human Rights Violations http://lifestoriesmontreal.ca/en.
