The conference aims to bring up panels with Thai, regional, Japanese and international senior and junior scholars together to present their research works and works-in-progress in the form of academic papers, and to get high-quality feedback during conference sessions engaged in discussions on Thailand in a globalized context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The format of the conference will include 1) plenary sessions by keynote speakers who are leading scholars in Thai studies; 2) parallel sessions consisting of panels and groups of individual papers on various topics relating to Thailand; and 3) organized roundtable discussion sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe welcome two types of submissions; 1) individual abstracts and 2) panel proposals.
