Circles of Conversation is a great opportunity to engage young Cambodian Americans in a series of conversations about issues that affect our generation with a special focus on the educational journey. Education in our holistic interpretation includes various facets of education, such as the sense of belonging, the support or lack thereof at home and at school, the challenges enco…untered in daily life that impact the ability to learn and progress, and that may include violence at home, in the schools, racism, and/or poverty. This is in addition to trying to get a sense of how well prepared academically our generation feels to access higher education. We will be participating in an open discussion about our personal experiences, perceptions, and expectations.

The Bigger Picture:
a) To create a resource on Khmer-American youth
a) To replicate these circles of conversations in Chicago, St. Paul, Philadelphia, and Lowell.
b) To use these circles as resources for policy change, beginning with sharing findings with national and local advocacy groups, the APA Congressional Caucus, the National Asian American Justice Center in DC.

The Program:
April 24th, CSU Sacramento, specific building TBA
Introductions and Discussion will begin at 10am. Lunch is provided 12-1. Further discussion and conclusions 1pm-3pm.

Facilitators:
~Professor Khatharva Um: Professor in Asian American Studies/Ethnic Studies (Cambodia). Department of Ethnic Studies@ UC Berkeley
~Professor Pan Ravin: Assistant Professor at California State University, Sacramento

Cambodian Student Association at Sacramento State presents Culture Show 2011!

The theme of the night is “Cultural Catalyst” which features a Cambodian version of “The Wizard of Oz.” It starts off with a young Cambodian man who goes on a journey to find himself and a home in the United States, which is unfamiliar to him. He then meets a Westernized American (the Scarecrow) who accused Jory of stealing. This caused Jory to become cruel and bitter towards his culture and the people around him. To fit in with the rest of his peers, he changed himself to be more Americanized. It then all shifted once he met a Hip-hop, urbanized youngster who brought Jory back to his roots. Jory finally finds the courage within himself to be proud of his Cambodian heritage, similar to the Cowardly Lion. Throughout the show, Jory wears red shoes that belonged to his father who died during the Khmer Rouge.
