Hello. Welcome to my website.

Giving Voice to those Who Have None
April 17, 2007: 32nd Anniversary of Khmer Rouge takeover in Cambodia
With the support of the Jubitz Family Foundation, I was invited in April 2007 to speak at the Genocide Awareness Coalition event at Portland State University. There, I discussed my book When Broken Glass Floats in the context of the Cambodian genocide. This program was produced by Joshua Eddings and cablecast on Portland Community Media for OPI Presents, as part of a series presented by the Oregon Peace Institute.
