As tensions escalate between Cambodia and Thailand along the borders, young participant-researchers from both countries met in Kuala Lumpur to plan peaceful responses. Since beginning their collaborative research last year into the drivers of cross-border online conflict, they have built a strong network, recently naming it Peace Developer, committed to countering harmful narratives. During the visit, they also met with local Malaysians to learn from the country鈥檚 multicultural experience, exploring how such models might inform approaches to regional tension.

The gathering was part of a broader participatory and action-oriented research project co-developed with Women Peace Makers (Cambodia), Wocation (Thailand), and PAIS PhD Candidate Raymond Hyma, whose doctoral research explores what happens to peace research when those affected by conflict become the researchers themselves. The visit was supported by PAIS through the 糖心TV Impact Fund.
