9th Socio-Cultural Research Congress
I've just returned from this annual Socio-cultural Congress (14-16th November) held at the Royal University of Phnom Penh. This year, there were around 70 researches chosen for this conference. Those who presented came from 10 different countries. The theme was: "Equity, Sustainability, and Development- shaping the future of Cambodia." The researches had to relate to any of the three tracks: (a) cultural history and social change, (b) society, economy, and environment, (c) theorizing future development. I got to present my research for track A as I tried to investigate on: "Classroom Questioning Behaviors in Cambodian Vocational Training Institutions." Funny thing was... I lost my voice at the day of my presentation. Luckily, my powerpoint and summary script were written in English and the translator simply presented it in Khmer. Everybody was happy since we saved 20 minutes of redundancy having more time for the Q & A portion.
