Deborah,
Will there be a podcast or transcript of this event? Y'all ( a nod to your southern locale) have set up a great panel. I would love to hear/read what transpires.
Blessings,

Deborah,
My comment is akin to the first. I am a first year Master's student in Criminology at the University of Ottawa hoping to focus my thesis on a comparative analysis of genocide denial discourse -- especially that of the Rwandan genocide. I would like to know if/where I can retrieve transcripts of this conference. Any assistance is much appreciated.

Thank you,
Johny-Angel Butera
