The Center for Khmer Studies’ mission is to promote research, teaching and public service in the social sciences, arts and humanities as they relate to Cambodia. While promoting scholarly interest in the region, CKS also aim to connect Cambodian scholars, students and artists with their international colleagues for the purpose of fostering understanding of Cambodia & S-E Asia.
