In this episode, Francine interviewed Dr. Thongchai Winichakul, Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Thongchai looks back on his 40-year career to reflect on how Thai studies has changed overtime. First, he views Thai intellectual history as a vivid cross-cultural encounter. The field combines comparison, interpretation and translation across both literal and cultural languages. Furthermore, he argues that as academics come from different political, economic, scholarly, and cultural environments, their wide-ranging perspectives are informing new questions and methodologies. He coins different scholarly approaches and positioning in Thai studies, ranging from the “Other” to the “Self” as home scholar, with many in-betweens.
