  • The Death of Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej Was Not
    PERSPECTIVE October 19, 2016 The death of Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej was not unexpected, as the 88-year-old monarch had been in poor health for some time, but it was nonetheless a shock to his people and you can see the grief and anguish on their faces. I had lived in Thailand many years ago, and was personally saddened to hear of his passing and know how highly revered he was there. While his political power was limited, Bhumibol was not only seen as a stabilizing force but was, in fact, a very important influence on the military, bureaucracy and all other segments of the society, helping to ensure stability over his 70-year reign, which spanned many changes—and at times turmoil—not only in Thailand but throughout the world. When concerns about Bhumibol’s health began to intensify, the Thai equity market and its currency, the baht, also began to suffer. As the world’s longest-reigning monarch and given the overwhelming emotional ties the Thai people have with him, the ramifications of a royal succession have been a source of uncertainty in Thailand for a number of years, although it is expected that Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn will succeed his father in due course. I think it will take time for people to get used to the change, and while the price doesn’t have the same stature his father had, hopefully the prince will be able to step in and help Thailand move forward in a positive direction. One thing we do know is that there is a very dynamic and changing situation in Thailand right now.

This year’s Summit will be held under the theme ‘Investing for Impact: Quality Education for Sustainable and Inclusive Growth’, and aims to explore the relationships among education, entrepreneurship, and economy; with participants addressing ways to strengthen education systems, develop ‘job-ready’ talent pools to counter persisting inequality, and support wider economic progress. Established in 2009 by Qatar Foundation, WISE will bring together more than 1,500 innovators, including educational thinkers and practitioners, representatives of governments, NGOs, business leaders, and social entrepreneurs. Designed to address the challenges of education through innovation and collaboration, it is a testament to QF’s commitment to unlocking human potential and establishing a knowledge-based economy. WISE 2015 will be the first global conference following the United Nations General Assembly and the ratification of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and will provide a platform for examining emerging innovations, scalable solutions, and emerging models of education financing.

  • JSS 069 0Q Obituaries
    OBITUARIES CHESTER GORMAN Dies at 43 * Chester Gorman, an archaeologist at the University of Pennsylvania who was known for his excavations in Thailand, died June 7, 1981 at Mercy San Juan Hospital in Sacramento, California. Gorman, who was 43, had been suffering from cancer for about two years. His illness prevented him from returning to Thailand in early 1981, as he had planned. He had been at the University of Pennsylvania since 1974 and was an associate professor of anthropology as well as associate curator-in-charge of the South and Southeast Asia section of the University Museum. Gorman and Pisit Charoenwongsa of Thailand were co-directors of the Ban Chiang project and in 1974 they excavated bronze items possibly dating back to 3600 B.C. That is about 600 years prior to the oldest bronze artifacts from the Middle East, where scholars have believed the Bronze Age began. Some scholars have said that Gorman's discovery altered some of their basic ideas about the history of technology and human development in general. "The tragic death of Chester Gorman just as he was completing the proof of one of the world's greatest archaeological discoveries is a blow not only to his friends and colleagues at the University Museum in Philadelphia, but to everyone in this field of research," said Dr. Froelich Rainey, emeritus professor of anthropology and former director of the University Museum. "His good friends on both sides of the Pacific will complete his work in the years to come but it will never be quite the same.

  • Political Demonology, Dehumanization, and Contemporary Thai Politics
    Asia-Pacific Social Science Review 19(2) 2019, pp. 115–130 RESEARCH ARTICLE Political Demonology, Dehumanization, and Contemporary Thai Politics Siwach Sripokangkul1* and Mark S. Cogan2 1Khon Kaen University, Thailand 2Kansai Gaidai University, Japan [email protected] Abstract: The employment of acts of political demonology has become common among power holders in Thai society. Demonization campaigns trace back to the early 1970s when Thai nationalists deemed Communists to be “beasts in human clothing.” This paper reviews demonization strategies employed by power holders (countersubversives) to undermine, marginalize, and repress anti-government protesters (subversives), beginning with the formative 1970s student movements, and continuing through the 2014 military coup d’état. We argue through a series of vignettes that the Thai elites have conveniently labeled anti-government protesters and their mobilization networks as demons, trolls, or animals due to their supposed threats to the Thai state, its monarchy, or national religion. Keywords: political demonology, Thailand, dehumanization, state violence, repression Demonology, or regarding others as non-human Although demonology has been accredited with or as being unwelcome, is a phenomenon that has origins in the United States because of Rogin’s been around as long as political society itself. The work, there are oft-cited examples elsewhere, such political variety is primarily derived from Michael as the Nazi dissemination of a massive ideological Rogin’s (1987) book, “Ronald Reagan, The Movie dehumanization of a host of other groups of people, and Other Episodes in Political Demonology, which devaluing these groups as lower forms of life, called to the attention the creation of monsters as a commonly associated with animals (Steizinger, 2018).

Oganized by the Ministry of Family, Solidarity, Equality and Social Development in morocco and the National Institute for Social Action in Tangier; DIFI’s participation at the conference included presenting a paper titled ‘Exploring Dynamics of Social Support System for Families living with Autism in Qatar’ by author Ahmed Aref from DIFI’s Family Research Department.

It also examined multiple social and community support patterns that respond to the needs of families living with autism spectrum disorder. The research was based on the scientific evidence presented by a DIFI research project – ‘The Well-being of Families Living with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Qatar’ – which explored the dimensions of family well-being in Qatar.
