Cambodia: A Classroom Study was developed gradually through the expertise and contributions of many individuals. They are: SEAP faculty Martin Hatch, Thak Chaloemtiarana, Abby Cohn and SEAP affiliate Dolina Mallar. These individuals served on the original Outreach Committee and, with their support, urged this project along. Also instrumental to the development of this project are Dr. Keith Taylor, Dr. Toni Shapiro (SEAP Ph.D in anthropology), and Thavro Phim, SEAP's 1993-1994 visiting artist. Toni Shapiro and Thavro Phim gave numerous presentations on Cambodian dance in local schools which set the impetus to create this unit.

The segments about Cambodia were authored by Lorraine Patterson, who, in 1995, was a M.A candidate in Asian studies at Cornell. Lorraine was very gracious to share her knowledge of the country and the personal histories she collected while living in Cambodia.
