WMN199: Preliminary Field Study - Women in Cambodian Society

This, along with WMN499, provides students with practical exposure to women’s condition in Cambodia; to synthesize knowledge acquired in the classroom within the general context of their own society; to realize the bridge between the academic community and the community at large; and to instill in the students a sense of social responsibility so that they may become socially-conscious and active members of their society. The students will be asked to work with different NGOs, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs or members of their community. They will conduct interviews, collect data, and follow up on the subject of their own choosing. This will culminate in a final written and oral report to be shared with others during their final year of study.
