If her life were a journey, the pursuit of a Master at the Royal University of Phnom Penh would be an unforgettable trip. Besides academic accomplishment, her great discovery has been love, friendship, and the goodwill of people around her. Many incredible people deserve more than just verbal recognition. As the researcher being near the end of this challenging, sometimes frustrating, but always enjoyable journey, it is only right to acknowledge those who have given of their time and efforts to guide her whether their names appear herewith or not. The researcher is honored that he was guided and assisted, when needed, by her major thesis advisor, Dr. Mok Sarom. The professor has never hesitated to share his extensive knowledge of leadership and his commitment to the completion of this requirement. When necessary, encouragement is offered and when progress waned, he is subtle but clear in pointing to the goal and the necessity in staying on the path. He not only teaches the importance of positive behavior support for students, but he also has provided her, as one of his best students, with the best supports and encouragement. One phrase the researcher heard from him and the researcher will always keep in his mind: “You can do it, Kunthea.” Thanks so much. The researcher will continue traveling and always looks forward to the challenging trips as his life will bring. Supervisor Dr. Mok Sarom who believes in the researcher‟s ability and keeps the faith tempering the toughest days with his brilliant judgment and priceless sense of humor, the researcher is grateful to each of the school directors and teachers for all of their time and participation during this study.

Signed by the final Examining Committee: Chair Professor Barbara Lorenzkowski Examiner Professor. Theresa Ventura Examiner Professor Alison Rowley Supervisor Professor Matthew Penney Approved by Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director 2018 Dean of Faculty ABSTRACT Re-imagining Khmer Identity: Angkor Wat during the People’s Republic of Kampuchea (1979-1989) Simon Bailey The People’s Republic of Kampuchea period between 1979 and 1989 is often overlooked when scholars work on the history of modern Cambodia. This decade is an academic blind spot sandwiched between the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime and the onset of the United Nations peace process. Utilizing mediums such as popular culture, postage stamps and performance art, this thesis will show how the single most identifiable image of Cambodian culture, Angkor Wat became a cultural binding agent for the government during the 1980s. To prove the centrality of Angkor in the myth-making and nation building mechanisms of the People’s Republic of Kampuchea, primary source material from Cambodia’s archives, along with interviews will form the foundation of this investigation.

  • Exploring the Utilization of Buddhist Practices in Counseling for Two Different Groups of Service Providers (Monks and Psychologists) in Cambodia
    Exploring the Utilization of Buddhist Practices in Counseling for Two Different Groups of Service Providers (Monks and Psychologists) in Cambodia Khann Sareth and Tanja E Schunert1; Taing S Hun, Lara Petri, Lucy Wilmann, Vith Kimly, Judith Strasser, and Chor Sonary2 The suffering of Cambodia has been deep. From this suffering comes great Compassion. Great Compassion makes a Peaceful Heart. A peaceful Heart makes a Peaceful Person. A Peaceful Person makes a Peaceful Community. A Peaceful Community makes a Peaceful Nation. And a Peaceful Nation makes a Peaceful World. May all beings live in Happiness and Peace. --Samdech Maha Ghosananda, Cambodia The above quotation sets the objective we advocate and work for in Cambodia.3 Introductory analysis Background and current situation: Cambodia’s history of political unrest, socioeconomic struggle and traumatic genocide under the Khmer Rouges (KR) has disrupted and destroyed many grown structures of resources, such as the foundations of sufficient health care, education and deeper knowledge of Buddhist and Hindu, animistic traditional practices and cultural legacies. Normal patterns and habits of daily life have been torn apart and resulted in low indicators of development. Cambodia was ranked 137th out of 182 countries according to the United Nations Human Development Index (2009) and struggles still with providing a minimum of health services and standards especially in the field of mental health. Problems such as poverty, lack of gender parity, mistrust and suppressed anger, domestic violence, child and sex-trafficking, substance abuse, and other issues which continue to undermine movements for national reconciliation, are common (Human Rights Watch, 2010; Humeniuk, Ali, & Ling, 2004; UNIAP, 2008; van de Put & Eisenbruch, 2002).

  • Cambodian Genocide Museums and Memorials: a Medium for Transmitting Intergenerational Cultural Memory
    Cambodian Genocide Museums and Memorials: A Medium for Transmitting Intergenerational Cultural Memory by Colin Kim Lim This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Law,Jane Marie (Chairperson) Willford,Andrew C. (Minor Member) CAMBODIAN GENOCIDE MUSEUMS AND MEMORIALS: A MEDIUM FOR TRANSMITTING INTERGENERATIONAL CULTURAL MEMORY A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Colin Kim Lim August 2010 ! 2010 Colin Kim Lim ABSTRACT This paper, based on field research and oral interviews with museum attendees in the United States and Cambodia, examines the role of four memorial museums in promoting shared intergenerational cultural memory from the Cambodian genocide. I focus on four sites: the Cambodian American Heritage Museum and Killing Fields Memorial in Chicago, Illinois; Cambodian Cultural Museum and Killing Fields Memorial in Seattle, Washington; the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia; and the Killing Fields at Choeung Ek in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. From 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge Regime used Tuol Sleng, formerly Tuol Svay Prey High School, as an interrogation, torture, and execution site. Today, the prison has been transformed into a museum but preserved just as the Democratic Kampuchea left the facilities in 1979. In many ways, this original museum in Cambodia serves as a model for other “museumifications” of the Cambodian genocide. It also shares a great deal with other such sites of torture and execution, which have become “tourist destinations” and museums globally. Technically, Tuol Sleng (and other museums like it) has an ambiguous status as a museum per se: it is not only an open grave for national mourning, but also a site of atrocity; not only a site of atrocity, but also an archive; not only a holding place for history, but also a memorial; not only a memorial, but also a museum.

    CAMBODIA 19752005 Journey through the Night A photo exhibition of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung GULF OF THAILAND CAMBODIA 19752005 Journey through the Night A photo exhibition of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Projekt partners Since its foundation in 1997, the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam), based in Phnom Penh, has been dedicated to confronting the rule of the Khmer Rouge, to which end it is engaged in archiving materials, performing research and publishing scholarly studies. The institution also plays an important role in fostering societal discourse regarding the imminent mixed Cambodian- United Nations tribunal before which leading members of the Khmer Rouge will have to answer for their crimes. The Atelier Meerkatze was opened in 2001 by Kurt and Gisela Volkert. It is the studio of the painters Wolfgang Sahlmann and Kurt Volkert and is also used for exhibitions of art and photography. In 2002 it played host to the widely acclaimed “Requiem” exhibition, organised in conjunction with the photojournalist and Pulitzer Prize-winner Horst Faas, which featured photographs from photo- graphers who had been killed in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. This atelier is an important part of the cultural landscape in Königswinter and beyond. The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) has been active in Cambodia since 1994. Its target groups are the decision-makers and infl uential people in politics, trade unions and civil society. Its primary partner is the Cambodian Institute for Cooperation and Peace, in whose founding and expansion the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung has played an important role and which has since established itself as a leading internationally renowned think-tank.
