AISLS JOINS WITH THE CENTER FOR KHMER STUDIES TO HOLD WORKSHOP ON “COLONIAL LEGACIES AND CONTEMPORARY SCHOLARSHIP IN SRI LANKA AND CAMBODIA”

This workshop, which was held in Siem Reap on 11-13 January 2012, was a joint project between AISLS and the Center for Khmer Studies. The goal was to compare the twentieth-century historical trajectories of the two countries, and consider how far their differing colonial legacies shape contemporary public and academic culture.  Participants included Liyanage Amarakeerthi, Ros Chantrabot, Premakumara de Silva, Penny Edwards, Im Francois, Anne Hansen, Janaki Jayawardena, Henri Locard, John Marston, Harshana Rambukwella, Jonathan Spencer, Vong Sotheara, and Michael Sullivan.
