Interview 2 - David Chandler - IN THE SHADOWS OF UTOPIA

Interview 2 - David Chandler

12/2/2021

Professor David Chandler is perhaps the most widely recognised and respected scholar of Cambodian history. Author of books such as A History of Cambodia, Brother Number One, Voices from S-21 and The Tragedy of Cambodian History, David has also testified as an expert witness on two occasions during the trial of former leaders of the Khmer Rouge.

I sat down with Professor Chandler in his home in Melbourne to discuss his ideas about the current state of the Khmer Rouge history, his thoughts on the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, whether the crimes of the CPK can be considered 'genocide', and his experience visiting the country so soon after it 're-opened' in 1981.

Professor Chandler has retired from teaching, but his most recent was at Monash University, which is where I first met him in 2011.

Do squats while waiting for your food to cook. Walk around on your tiptoes, in a duck posture or in a semi-squatting position.

Get a standing or treadmill desk, or use an exercise ball instead of a desk chair. Go ahead, listen to your favorite TV shows -- but don’t just sit there watching. Cook, fold laundry, empty the dishwasher or ride a stationary bike. Do a step routine/step up/step down (repeatedly) for a good while.

Make a point of taking the stairs rather than an elevator when going home or to work (split between stairs and elevator if you need to go up very high).
