Goals

  • Attempts to give priority to sociological research activities and theory acquisition with analytical, critical, systematic, and constructivist ways of thinking rather than a fixed and essentialist mode to approach socio-cultural phenomena.

  • Aspires to strengthen the student’s intellectual ability to relate theory and social reality and to compare, discover, and understand Cambodian society in its different facets.

  • To promote an open academic environment in which Sociology students can respond to the many challenges of the new socioeconomic situation and broaden their horizons to regional and worldwide socio-cultural issues and perspectives.

  • Train students in socio-cultural subjects to foster the development of new competent staff for RUPP and especially for the Department of Sociology in order to strengthen and consolidate interdisciplinary academic performance and quality of teaching at accepted scientific standards.

  • Develop the spirit of social commitment towards the Asian Region and Cambodian society with the goal of reducing inequalities of vulnerable minority groups who are the main targets of rapid socio-cultural change.
