ASRIC (Applied Social Research Institute of Cambodia) is guided by its mission to seek social peace and health for Cambodians affected directly and indirectly by the Khmer Rouge regime. Whether or not Cambodians are firsthand survivors of the genocide and regardless of where they live, all are scarred psycho-emotionally, physically, and economically by Cambodiaʼs tumultuous history and the current social chaos and culture of impunity in their homeland. ASRIC focuses on increasing the cultural, individual, and collective strengths of the Cambodian population while helping to overcome the lingering negative effects of the Khmer Rouge genocide. The Applied Social Research Institute of Cambodia (ASRIC) is a not-for-profit legally registered 501(c3) organization.
ASRIC is affiliated with its institutional partner, the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at New York University, 41-51 E. 11th Street, 7th floor, New York, NY 10003.
Leakhena Nou, Executive Director of ASRIC, is a trained medical sociologist with more than fifteen year of research on the community effects of the Khmer Rouge. She is an assistant professor in the Sociology Department at California State University, Long Beach and Visiting Scholar at the Asia Pacific American Institute at New York University (Long Beach has one of the largest Cambodian communities in the United States).
