Who we are?

 

The HSHH – A direct shortcut to the more elaborated ‘’Human Sciences Happy Hours’’ in Phnom Penh - is a network of social sciences researchers involved in Khmer Studies. Working in Cambodia and affiliated to either local Cambodian universities or to various other universities in South East Asia, Europe and United States, this group of eternal curious of their and others findings on Cambodia has grown from as little as 1 to 5 to now almost 400 individuals. The HSHH group and activities are currently coordinated by a team always happy to welcome new faces: Pascale Hancart Petitet, Emiko Stock, Gabriel Fauveaud, and Léo Mariani..


Our history

 

The Human Sciences Happy Hours in Phnom Penh came to life in Octobre 2008 upon the impulsion of Pascale Hancart Petitet. An anthropologist coming from India where she experienced the dynamism of informal meetings bringing researchers together to blend a more innovative research, Pascale felt quite isolated in a city where researchers from various fields, countries and experiences, seem to have weak linkages with each other. Soon enough she was joined by one, two and then more and more researchers who – just like her – where eager to share their field experiences and listen to fellows progress and advices. The first Human Science Happy Hours was launched in November 2008. The floor was given to the French historian, Mathieu Guerin and welcome a handful of anthropologists, linguists, sociologists, historians, psychologists and geographers. Two years later the HSHH will grow to sometime welcome over 50 participants to one session

 

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 bring research to the society, the door is always open to non-researchers, coming to seek for an academic level of presentation, while still being able to apply the collected information to their work or their community.

 

Today

 

With almost 400 researchers and additional actors mainly from the development world, each monthly event gathers 30 to 50 individuals not only to open a new window on the country, but also to build a body of knowledge often difficult to access 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.
