Claude Jacques

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Claude Jacques studied in Lyon and Paris before taking up a fellowship in India. His first involvement in Cambodia came in September 1961, when he took on the position of Professor of Epigraphy and Art at the Royal Phnom Penh University. Four years later, he helped create the university's archaeology faculty, where he taught Khmer history. Throughout his nine years in Cambodia, he also pursued his own research of Khmer civilisation at Angkor and elsewhere as a member of the Ecole Francaise d'Extreme Orient , before returning to Paris in 1970. An expert in Sanskrit, Khmer and Cham scripts, he spent the next twenty years teaching Southeast Asian history at the Ecole Pratiques des Hautes Etudes in Paris, before being appointed a special advisor to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization director-general for Angkor and Cambodia.
