2nd Cambodian Studies Forum
Center for Southeast Asian Studies
Ohio University
Saturday, May 22, 2010
Keynote Speaker: TBA

The Cambodian Studies Forum will be holding its 2nd annual meeting at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio on Saturday, May 22, 2010. Organized by graduate students at Ohio University and the Southeast Asian Studies Program, the forum seeks to facilitate a scholarly discussion regarding research, archival access, and fieldwork challenges and opportunities. Graduate students are especially encouraged to submit abstracts and present their original work.

The forum is an informal organization of scholars interested in all aspects of Cambodian studies. We seek submissions representing a wide range of topics, issues, and disciplinary fields. For more information on the forum, please contact the 2010 coordinator: Huong Nguyen at <cambodianstudies@gmail>.com. You may also contact Anthony Medrano at <medrano@ohio.edu> or 740-593-1841.

There is no registration fee to attend the forum. Also, unfortunately, funds are unavailable to support participant travel. However, if requested, transportation from the Port of Columbus International Airport to Ohio University could be arranged. Like last year, a few members of the Southeast Asian Studies community at Ohio University will open their homes and offer free accommodation to visiting participants. Please let the coordinator know if you are interested in this form of housing.
