  • Vietnam | Cambodia | Laos | Myanmar
    Vietnam | Cambodia | Laos | Myanmar Introduction Cambodia Most people know of Cambodia as home to the crowning glory of Southeast Asia – the magnificent temples at Angkor Wat, but visitors are often surprised at how much more this small country has to offer. Angkor Wat is simply unmissable, but take a little more time to explore Phnom Penh, the exciting, bustling gateway to the country; Tonle Sap lake, the largest in Southeast Asia; Sihanoukville, an increasingly chic beach destination; and Mekong River town Kratie, where lucky visitors may spot endangered Mekong river dolphins. For those wishing to learn more about the country’s recent history, Tuol Sleng prison and the ‘Killing Fields’ of Choeung Ek provide a chilling insight into Cambodia’s darkest hours. Cambodia is at once captivating, enchanting, confronting and inspirational. The country has emerged from a tumultuous period of civil war with a renewed sense of creativity and optimism. Be charmed by its friendly, welcoming people, and explore the country's rich heritage, from religious monuments and colonial-era architecture to a thriving art scene. Phnompenh The Cambodia ’s commercial and political hub. It is also the gateway to the tem- ples of Angkor in the west, the beaches of Sihanoukville on the southern coast and the hill tribe minority in the Northern Province .

  • Education in Urban Street Schools: Cambodia
    Benjamin D. Carson Tillinghast 329 Office Hours: TBD Office Phone: 508-531-1456 Email: [email protected] Education in Urban Street Schools: Cambodia Course Description: This short-term international travel course offers graduate students the opportunity to teach basic English to students living in the “slums” of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Students, in multiple mandatory pre-departure meetings, will design the curriculum (e.g. educational lessons/games, etc.) they will deliver in the four Empowering Youth in Cambodia (EYC) schools, all of which are located in some of the poorest neighborhoods in Phnom Penh. While it is not necessary to be in education or have a background in teaching to take this course, the ideal student would be one who has some experience working with children between the ages of five and thirteen, is patient, flexible, and gets along well with others, even when hot, tired, and dirty. In addition to working in the EYC schools, we will spend at least one day installing bio-sand filters with Water for Cambodia (W4C) in the rural villages outside of Siem Reap. While in Phnom Penh, we will also visit Mother’s Heart Cambodia, the only crisis pregnancy center in Cambodia. Because EYC, W4C, and Mother’s Heart are non-governmental organizations (NGOs), they rely entirely on donations. Figured into the cost of this trip is a $600 donation for EYC and a $500 donation for Water for Cambodia. This covers a month’s salary for four EYC teachers and buys ten bio-sand filters for W4C. We’ll also donate school supplies to EYC and baby clothes to Mother’s Heart.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 Abstract One of the cornerstones of the Cambodian literary canon is the verse novel Turn Teav. There are numerous versions o f the story that cover all the major modes of creative expression in Cambodian culture. In addition to the literary and theatrical versions, the story also appears in different historical texts, as it is generally believed that the characters described in the story are based on actual people and events in Cambodian history. Despite Turn Teav's tremendous importance and popularity however, there are no studies that examine the extensive literary criticism on the text or the influence of the story in contemporary Cambodian culture and society. This work is an attempt to present an overview o f the literary criticism on Turn Teav and provide the reader with an insight into the viewpoints of contemporary Cambodian writers and intellectuals on the major themes in the story.

  • Symbolism in City Planning in Cambodia from Angkor to Phnom Penh
    105 Symbolism in City Planning in Cambodia from Angkor to Phnom Penh Martin Stuart-Fox and Paul Reeve ABSTRACT—Phnom Penh was a trading port when Angkor Thom fell to a Siamese army in 1431. Its choice as the site of a new capital for the Kingdom of Cambodia took account of the geographic symbolism of its location, while its urban planning incorporated additional symbolism believed necessary to legitimise royal power. The symbolism evident in the layout of pre-modern Phnom Penh derived from three sources: from Hindu- Buddhist cosmological beliefs that found their mature Khmer expression in Angkor Thom; from beliefs about the legitimisation of royal power in Theravada Buddhism; and from the principles traditionally applied in the design of Tai centres of power. The first rested on correspondences believed to exist between the divine macrocosm and the mundane microcosm. The second emphasized the significance of merit. The third defined a status hierarchy based on the direction of flow of the rivers on which the capitals of Tai polities were always located. City planning was a matter of great concern in all the Indianised kingdoms of Southeast Asia. The location of cities, their orientation and their layout were not decided at the whim of kings: they required the combined talents of the most learned men at court—astrologers, geomancers and court Brahmins well-read in the religious texts of ancient India, notably the treatises known as śāstra on such diverse subjects as law, statecraft and architecture. City planning reflected the way court officials and the kings they served understood the relationship between gods and kings, from which derived royal legitimacy in the eyes of their subjects, along with the power to ensure both economic prosperity and victory over their enemies.

As this article develops, French manipulation of the monarchy and attempts to buttress religion and culture alongside the rise of nationalist youth and Buddhist radicalism was an important precursor to postwar events.

  • The Koh Pich Tragedy: One Year On, Questions Remain
    November 2011 The Koh Pich Tragedy: One Year on, Questions Remain About the Cambodian Center for Human Rights The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) is a non-aligned, independent, non-governmental organization that works to promote and protect democracy and respect for human rights in the Kingdom of Cambodia (“Cambodia”). Our vision is of a non-violent Cambodia in which people enjoy their fundamental human rights, are treated equally, are empowered to participate in democracy and share the benefits of Cambodia’s development. We desire rule of law rather than impunity; strong institutions rather than strong men; and a pluralistic society in which variety is harnessed and celebrated rather than ignored or punished. Our logo – a dove flying in a circle of blue sky – symbolizes Cambodia’s claim for freedom. About this Report This report, “The Koh Pich Tragedy: One Year on, Questions Remain” (the “Report”) aims to explore the events of the night of 22 November 2010, when over 350 people died in a deadly crush on Koh Pich Bridge in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, during the 2010 Water Festival. The Report sets out the conflicting accounts of the facts of that night, examines the response of the authorities to the incident, and identifies a number of unanswered questions. This Report does not attempt to provide a definitive version of what happened; rather it raises a number of questions arising from the event, considers the conflicting accounts of that night, and attempts to make some tentative recommendations as to what safeguards could be put in place to ensure there is no repeat of last year’s event in the future.
