Building Institutional Capacity in Cambodian Higher Education

Funded by the Rockefeller Foundation

Third Session

This project seeks to enhance the knowledge base and academic skills of junior Cambodian academics and researchers in the fields of humanities and social sciences. This will be achieved through workshops and seminars, followed by individual and team research projects.

CKS is seeking applications from those wishing to participate in the third six-month session, lasting from February – July, 2006. The session will focus on the following theme:

Religious Practices in Mainland Southeast Asia as related to the Cambodian context.

Very little work has been done on the practice of religion in 21^st century Cambodia in relation to its neighboring countries, although most observers seems to take for granted the idea that religion is an important component in Cambodian and Southeast Asian life. How well have Buddhism and Islam weathered the Communist and post-Communist eras? How are they affected by religious and secular influences from abroad? What has been the impact of evangelical Christianity, and how have Cambodians react to it? How many young Cambodians now become monks, even for a short time? Which vats are powerhouses for Buddhism, and where are prominent Islamic teachers to be found? What do young people in urban areas believe, and what effect, if any, does religious teaching have on their behavior? And finally, how do these phenomena compare with Cambodia’s neighboring countries (Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Burma)? These are only a few of the questions that need to be addressed in what would best be seen as a long-term, multi-disciplinary study, deserving a regional approach so as to compare and identify cross-border networks and patterns.

Participants must be Cambodian nationals with a good command of English, who are currently employed as junior faculty members in a local university, or who intend to pursue an academic career in Cambodia.

Applicants should provide copies of their educational transcripts and certificates, evidence of English level, an individual research proposal with comparative dimension between Cambodia and other countries in the region, and evidence of their university employment. Those not currently teaching at a university should provide a signed statement concerning their career plans. An Academic Committee will review all applications.

How to Apply

With your application for this session, please include a short research proposal of 3 or 5 pages, which could form the basis for 2 to 3 months of individual or group research. The research should lead to an English paper of approximately 4,000 to 6,000 words that you could present in a seminar or workshop. Your proposal should include:

    * A title of no more than 12 words
    * 2 or 3 main research questions
    * A brief discussion of the issue or problem you wish to research
    * Some explanation as to how you propose to conduct the research
    * Some possible conclusions or recommendations

Examples of possible approaches might include:

    * a detailed study of some aspect of a neighboring country, using mainly internet sources and newspaper reports
    * a comparative study of an issue affecting Cambodia and another Southeast Asian country, using some fieldwork interviews or surveys

Examples of possible topics might include:

    * Theravada Buddhism in Cambodia and Lao
    * Ancestral worship in Cambodia and Vietnam
    * Beliefs in territorial spirits in Cambodia and Burma
    * Islam in Cambodia during the Communist and post-Communist eras
    * Muslim practices in Cambodia and Thailand
    * Christianity in Cambodia and Vietnam
    * Youth and religious beliefs in Cambodia and Thailand
    * Others….

Please do not limit yourself to the topics suggested here, which are only examples – use the research proposal to help us understand your own special field of interest.
