Since its establishment DC-Cam has benefitted greatly from the support of an international network of scholars and professionals who have contributed their expertise on matters such as law, business, accounting, history, education, and human rights advocacy. Key knowledge contributors include: David Ashley (MA, SOAS-London), Frank Chalk (PhD, Wisconsin), David Chandler (PhD, Michigan), Phala Chea (PhD, Massachusetts), John Ciorciari (PhD, Oxford and JD, Harvard), Susan Cook (PhD, Yale), Chris Dearing (JD, Seattle), Craig Etcheson (PhD, USC), Nereida Cross (University of New South Wales), Thomas Hammarberg (UN Ambassador, Sweden), Steven Heder (PhD, London), Alex Hinton (PhD, Emory), Julio Jeldres (PhD candidate, Monash), Ben Kiernan (PhD, Monash), Sambo Manara (MA - Cal State Long Beach), Judge Soeung Panhavuth (MA in law, State University of Ukraine), Jaya Ramji-Nogales (JD, Yale), David Scheffer (LLM, Georgetown), Ron Slye (JD, Yale), Gregory Stanton (PhD, Chicago and JD, Yale), Laura Summers (PhD, Hull), Heng Vanda (MA, Institute of Accounting-Cambodia), Beth Van Schaack (JD, Yale), Judge Huot Vuthy (MA in law, State University of Ukraine), and many others.
The Center has also benefited from the knowledge contribution of hundreds of outstanding students who visit for scholarly and outreach projects related to our work. In addition to our year-round university student volunteers from Cambodia, each summer the Center receives approximately 20-30 select university students, generally graduate and law students, from top universities outside Cambodia. The majority of these associates stay for the summer while some stay for one year or more to complete their PhD dissertation research. After completion of their research project, many continue on to become professors or lead other important positions in their field. These associates become an integral part of our international network of supporters, with some even taking on important positions at our Center as legal advisor, board member, and project consultant.
This summer DC-Cam will receive twice the number of associates who generally visit, in part due to the outreach efforts of the Center’s Director and other staff members. Below is a partial list of the new group of associates by institution for 2010:

About Me
- Duong Dara
- Dara Duong was born in 1971 in Battambang province, Cambodia. His life changed forever at age four, when the Khmer Rouge took over the country in 1975. During the regime that controlled Cambodia from 1975-1979, Dara’s father, grandparents, uncle and aunt were executed, along with almost 3 million other Cambodians. Dara’s mother managed to keep him and his brothers and sisters together and survive the years of the Khmer Rouge regime. However, when the Vietnamese liberated Cambodia, she did not want to live under Communist rule. She fled with her family to a refugee camp on the Cambodian-Thai border, where they lived for more than ten years. Since arriving in the United States, Dara’s goal has been to educate people about the rich Cambodian culture that the Khmer Rouge tried to destroy and about the genocide, so that the world will not stand by and allow such atrocities to occur again. Toward that end, he has created the Cambodian Cultural Museum and Killing Fields Memorial, which began in his garage and is now in White Center, Washington. Dara’s story is one of survival against enormous odds, one of perseverance, one of courage and hope.
