[Tlc] Fieldwork procedure in Laos (and SEA)

Fri Feb 27 13:19:06 PST 2009

Dear Sunil,  

I thought perhaps one text in the Fall 2008 edition of the CCSEAS
Newsletter could be of some help to you (see document attached). It's a
short text by Marise Lachappelle (now PhD candidate at Laval University,
Quebec) discussing her experience conducting research in Laos. Other
essays discussing issues related to fieldwork in Southeast Asia can be
found in preceding issues of the Newsletter
(http://canadianasianstudies.concordia.ca/case/htm/seac.htm ).
Unfortunately, the link to the Fall 2008 edition doesn't work at the
moment.  

Hope this can help, at least a bit.

Jean-Philippe

Dear Justin and TLC'ers

I am a student of Chinese University of Hong Kong. I am planning to go
to Bo
Kaeo province Laos for my field work. But, one of my friend told me I
cannot
conduct research with tourist visa and I need special permission for
that. In
this context, I want to request you all to share your  experience or
most
important stuffs that I need to know. My research title is "The
Importance of
Non Timber Forest Products  in the Economy of Rural Household of Bokeo
Province, Lao PDR". Besides, If anyonecan share any documents,
literature,
information, about Laos, Laos culture, NTFPs in Laos, Bo Kaeo, etc. I
would
really appreciate.

I am looking forward to getting your response/replies.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Sunil KC
MPhil Student

CCSEAS 2009 Conference Call for Papers

The Canadian Council for Southeast Asian Studies is pleased to announce
that its biennial conference, Engaging Southeast Asia: Centres and
Peripheries, will be held at The University of British Columbia on
October 15-17, 2009. The keynote address at the conference will be
delivered by Alexander Woodside, UBC professor emeritus and
distinguished historian of Vietnam.

The CCSEAS conference is Canada's largest meeting of researchers
concerned with Southeast Asia and the region's connections with the rest
of the world. The conference will feature leading researchers from
across the country and around the world. We look forward to welcoming
all researchers, students, policy-makers and activists with an interest
in Southeast Asia.

While individual paper proposals will be accepted, the program committee
encourages participants in the conference to organize sessions around
focused research themes. These might take the format of a paper session,
featuring three paper presentations of 15-20 minutes each. Or, they may
take the form of a panel discussion, with up to five panelists giving a
brief presentation and then discussing a specific issue.

The deadline for submission of organized sessions and paper abstracts is
April 1st 2009.

Full details on the conference, and instructions for abstract
submission, are available at the conference website:
http://www.yorku.ca/ycar/CCSEAS_conference/home.html

Sorry I have to talk to you frankly. I don't think this kind of
information should be posted. It's difficult for me to accept this, it's
a 'private' thing and totally not 'academic'. I understand that TLC is
opened to all sides of view, I can accept that policy and academic
standpoint. But I don't think we should post everything without
consideration. I'm alright with many articles on 'lese majeste' but not
something like this. We can be more careful otherwise this academic list
will be 'used'.

Academic requires not only freedom but also respect. Posters should not
be anonymous as 'a member', it's not fair. And TLC should not become a
gossip column. Playing with one's private life is not academic and not
professional.

I hope you understand that I'm not attacking you or anyone. Your
contribution to this list is appreciated. I just want to show my opinion
as a young student!

Best,
Arthid
