DESCRIPTION:In this day-long workshop\, we will examine the role of visual
  archives in shaping how mass violence is remembered and taught\, with a f
 ocus on the photographic records produced at Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (f
 ormerly S-21 prison). Situating these images within the history of the Cam
 bodian Genocide under the Khmer Rouge\, the workshop will provide essentia
 l background on the regime’s system of detention\, interrogation\, and d
 ocumentation. Participants will explore the complex afterlives of the S-21
  portraits\, considering both their value as powerful tools of remembrance
  and education\, and the ethical challenges they raise\, particularly arou
 nd representation\, consent\, and the risk of reobjectifying victims. By e
 ngaging these photographs as both historical evidence and pedagogical mate
 rial\, the workshop invites reflection on how we document the dead and the
  responsibilities involved in teaching histories of genocide.This workshop
  will be facilitated by Dr. Ken MacLean (Clark University) and Dr. Sandra 
 Grudić (Coordinator of Educational Outreach).Learning Outcomes: Educators
  who successfully complete this workshop will be able to:Explain the histo
 rical context of the Cambodian Genocide and the role of Tuol Sleng (S-21)
