Cambodia!
It all started after Philippines. Judy asked, and I said yes. Judy, I and two colleagues took a trip together two years ago to learn about Cambodia. And we did. Judy is the Margaret Mead of Cambodia. She started in grad school, entered Cambodia doing valuable research following the Khmer Rouge as soon as scholars were able to enter in 1990's. Judy opened Cambodia to university students. And now it is time to open Cambodia to the community college student. And that is why I was sought to go to Cambodia with Judy. I teach sociology at a community college that happens to be a minority serving college - so global awareness and opportunity tends to be under served! So off I went for four weeks in Cambodia. We returned with ideas on creating class room lessons with Cambodia focus for the students. After all, the community college student is entitled to global education. With my travels and new expertise, I can do much more in the classroom. Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh, tuk tuks
