THE HUMAN SCIENCES ENCOUNTERS IN PHNOM PENH

Mutation in process

It is with pleasure that we have a nice announcement to share with you: during more than one year we have established new contacts, multiplied the meetings and discussions with a broad variety of institutions and key research actors in Cambodia. The result finally paid a huge does of involvement and motivation: our Human Sciences Happy Hours is about to reborn anew!

As you know the Human Sciences Happy Hours in Phnom Penh came to life in Octobre 2008. Since then the network never stopped to grow. It now blends together an interesting mix of fields, backgrounds and levels (anthropology, history, sociology, archaeology, psychology, geography, linguistics, urbanism, criminology, political sciences… from Masters to ongoing PhDs, from confirmed academics to experimental voices…). In a continuous attempt to share research outside its walls and to bring it to the society, the door is always open to non-researchers, coming to seek for knowledge. Today almost 500 researchers and other actors (mainly from the development world) are part of our network. Each monthly event gathers 30 to 50 individuals coming to open a new window on the country, but also to build knowledge otherwise often isolated in Cambodia.

This network now presents a real platform for Social Science research in Cambodia. It has become a forum of numerous exchanges and collaborations and it provides the mean for all to share information and publications in this field.

So what’s next? What changes are we talking about?

1. The network will be soon take venue at the Royal University of Fine Arts (RUFA) linking history of humanities in Cambodia to present, welcoming a fresh start and innovative collaboration.

2. The HSHH are now integrated in a new project of master of human and social sciences at RUFA (a project lead by IRD, CNRS, INALCO, UNESCO, AUF and RUFA.

3. The HSHH activities are now going to be associated with IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement) and will receive some funding from this collaboration.

4. In order to open the floor to our non-english speaking colleagues, we now invite all researchers willing to present their work in any other language they feel comfortable with.

5. We get a brand new name to celebrate those changes! The HSHH now become the:

HUMAN SCIENCES ENCOUNTERS IN PHNOM PENH

And in case you didn’t know it before (but we are quite sure you did already!) you are all welcome to continue to join us! We are always looking for new sharers of thoughts: presentations, research papers, impulsions and new ideas are what we feed on! (That and fresh water and love of course!).

This is a first step for us to ensure that the network can survive and keep its activities and bubbling encounters alive. Soon to come, the expansion of those activities! And now and forever (yes, we do apply a long term perspective!), YOU are to shape this network by your participation! We welcome (no, we call on to!) all new energies and good spirits willing to join us!

Cheers to all,

Pascale, Emiko, Leo, and Gabriel
