ArchivesAbout Staff： FY2005 Division of Society and CultureKOIZUMI, Junko （Associate Professor） Thai History and Historiography
Research InterestsHistorian interested in the Early Bangkok Period of Siam (Thailand). Her research interest has been focused on the following fields: (1) Socio-economic history of Siam in the early Bangkok period (from the
late 18th century to the early 20th century): She has conducted extensive
archival researches concerning the various aspects of pre-modern Siamese
society and state administration and their transformation from the late
19th century.
(2) Critical reexamination of modern Thai historiography: Along with empirical
researches based upon archival sources， she is also interested in critical
reexamination of modern Thai historiography. Formulated in the early 20th
century by the elites who themselves were state administrators， these historical
writings implicitly assume a nation state as its frame and are still very
influential as official history in Thailand. By questioning historiography，
she hopes to broaden the possibilities of history writings.
(3) History of gender relations: One of the important fields of history
which has been marginalized in the official discourse of Thai history is
the question of gender. Believing that historical exploration of gender
relations should not be a compartmentalization of "women" as
a self-evident category and their study as a sub-field complimenting "his"tory，
she hopes to look into a process in which differences between men and women
were constructed， defined， and redefined within a certain political and
historical context.
(4) Sino-Siamese relations: For the last few years， she has also been conducting
archival researches on the Chinese in Siam as well as on Sino-Siamese relations
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She has started a historical
study of Chinese-style shrines in various towns along the Gulf of Thailand.
