Postcolonial Feminisms and the Ethic of Care: South-to-South Dialogues is the inaugural symposium by the Asian and Latin American Women's Studies working group. We are convening for the second year to further develop the project. This project will bring together leading scholars in Asian and Latin American studies to create new understanding and knowledge in the areas of gender, race, and class.
After more than three decades since the demise of the so-called genocidal Khmer Rouge regime, in which an estimated 1.7 million people died, in 1979 in Cambodia, real justice for victims of the massacre still remains elusive even though the Khmer Rouge tribunal, which was established in 2006, has been in the process of prosecuting the senior leaders and those most responsible. The talk will be mainly about how the Khmer Rouge tribunal, the court that must ensure that impunity does not exist, seeks justice for Cambodian victims.

This paper examines Choi Jeong-hwa's critical engagement with the changing natures of the urban environment in the 1990s. Renowned as the established leader of Korean Pop Art, Choi Jeong-hwa has appropriated crude, cheap, and mass-produced objects from the everyday environment for making art. His strategy of 'kitsch' appropriation has been interpreted as either a subversive gesture to high art seriousness or a social commentary on Korea's hasty modernization in general.
