Wave | Sonali Deraniyagala | 2013

This event took place at the Clinton School of Public Service on November 4th, 2013.

On Dec. 26, 2004, Deraniyagala was vacationing with her husband, two sons, and her parents in Yala, Sri Lanka. Within a matter of minutes, the sea had wiped out life as she had known it. In “Wave,” she recalls her experience with the tsunami that killed more than 200,000 people, including her own family. She is currently an Adjunct Associate Professor at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University in New York, working on issues of economic development, including post-disaster recovery.
