Play reading: From Act I of the play She Has a Name by Andrew Kooman, performed by members of Burnt Thicket Theatre.

Haunted by anguished voices, a lawyer poses as a john to build a legal case against a brothel trafficking girls into Bangkok. The seeds of the play were planted when an abandoned storage container containing 121 workers from Burma, 54 of them dead, was found in Thailand in 2008. She Has a Name premiered in Calgary and Red Deer to sold-out audiences and critical acclaim in 2011 and is touring Canada during 2012.
 

Book signing: Human Trafficking: Exploring the International Nature, Concerns, and Complexities, edited by: John Winterdyk, Benjamin Perrin and Philip Reichel.

Dr. Winterdyk is the Director of Mount Royal University’s Centre for Criminology & Justice Research. He has published extensively in the areas of criminological theory, youth at risk, corrections and criminal justice-related issues, as well as on a host of comparative themes.
