Prof. Mohan, during the first year of appointment, was involved in research and writing at LSE, while disseminating our ethnographic work undertaken in different provincial spaces across Cambodia (mostly studied during the period of 2016-2019 period across different projects supported by the JGU Research Grant Committee, Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and other funding networks).
