In the field of Southeast Asian Studies, she helped to write [https://www.dccam.org/healing/publication/the-cham-rebellion-survivors-stories-from-the-villages-ysa-osman-2006/ ''The Cham Rebellion''] by Ysa Osman, witnessing first-person accounts of Muslim survivors among the [[Chams]] in [[Cambodia]], and providing key evidence for the international [[Khmer Rouge Tribunal]].
