The government has approved on random construction plans such as, roads and real estates to develop Chiangmai and its economy. Consequently, most of the communities aren't satisfied with these unpredictable plans so they stood up against the government, made assemblies in order to claim the rights they once had.Unfortunately, only one community that succeeded to defer the road expansion plan from the government that would completely destroy their beloving historical sites, engraved with memories from generation to generation. WatKet Community, a community of cultural diversity, filled with people from many religions such as Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, Chinese, Thai natives, Indians, Burmeses and other nations. Due to its history of being an old port city, it has made WatKet as one of the historical community sites in Chiangmai.Even though this diversity seems to be a problem in order to join the people of each culture together to enhance its strength to stand up against the state's interference that might cause tremendous effects to the community, WatKet Community has done a pretty great job in uniting themselves together as one and became a strong community that is capable of protecting their own architectural and cultural heritages. They changed the government's idea of modifying the area into a central business district but now, conserving it instead. Nowadays, the assembly formed by a small group of people to preserve their historical heritages for the latter generation is hardly to be found in the society due to the materialistic needs of the mass that are increasing each day. Most nations tend to be focusing only on the convenient basic needs without concerning about the cultural significances of each area. Many developing capitals such as Kuala Lumpur of Malaysia, Seoul of South Korea or Singapore which has developedrapidly, have to face multiple difficulties in order to revitalize its own architectures. We could say that these cities are just old cities without a soulsince it is too late to restore what has been destroyed. This dissertation contains researches and finalized studies about this unique strength and characteristics of WatKet Community that can be used as a study case for readers to understand the following issue so that they could be able to suggestguidelines for the community conservation and community development in the future. E ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation is dedicated to my parents, my brother and everyone who has been supporting me all my life.

  • Learning in Action: an Investigation Into Karen Resettlement
    LEARNING IN ACTION: AN INVESTIGATION INTO KAREN RESETTLEMENT VIA PARTICIPANT OBSERVATION AND PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH by DANIEL JOSEPH GILHOOLY (Under the Direction of Ruth Harman) ABSTRACT This qualitative research study is informed by my three and a half years participant observation within one Karen community living in rural eastern Georgia and the result of a participatory action research (PAR) project performed alongside three adolescent Karen brothers from 2010 to 2012. Such a fusion of methodologies is what Nelson and Wright (1995) describe as ‘creative synthesis’ where research is done both with and on participants. The first findings chapter (Chapter Six) analyzes how three adolescent Sgaw Karen brothers use online digital literacies to cope with resettlement. This component of the study explores the digital literacy practices of three adolescent Karen brothers as they attempt to navigate multiple institutions like school. Findings from this study suggest that newly arrived immigrant youth benefit in many social, psychological, and academic ways as a result of their online presence. The study looks specifically at how they use online spaces to (a) maintain and build co-ethnic friendships, (b) connect to the wider Karen Diaspora community, (c) sustain and promote ethnic solidarity and, (d) create and disseminate digital productions. This component of the study offers insights that can help teachers better understand their students’ out-of-school literacy practices and ways they can incorporate such digital literacies in more formal educational contexts. This study also provides findings about Karen resettlement via the collaborative enactment of a participatory action research (PAR) project between these three Karen brothers and myself.

As the 10th edition of ICAS is taking place in Asia, it will be greatly beneficial and intellectually challenging to invite Asia scholars to use this platform to discuss and exchange ideas on how we can better understand the changes that are happening in this region today. The conference is envisaged as an opportunity for participants to question the old paradigms and to search for new ones that can help us to analytically investigate the emerging economic, political and social order, as well as to conceive a realisation of the need for a new methodology to help us in better dealing with the problems of environment degradation, migration, authoritarianism, ethnic conflict, inequality, commoditisation of culture, and so forth.

  • Displaced Burmese in Thailand: Refugee Policies and Impact on Access and Rights, 1988-2008
    DISPLACED BURMESE IN THAILAND: REFUGEE POLICIES AND IMPACT ON ACCESS AND RIGHTS, 1988-2008 by Elizabeth Collins Kalnin A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Graduate Department of Adult Education and Counselling Psychology Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Elizabeth Collins Kalnin (2010) DISPLACED BURMESE IN THAILAND: REFUGEE POLICIES AND IMPACT ON ACCESS AND RIGHTS, 1988-2008 Masters of Arts 2010 Elizabeth Collins Kalnin Graduate Department of Adult Education and Counselling Psychology University of Toronto Abstract My thesis research centres on the question, how have refugee policy formation and ground level implementation impacted the conditions and experiences of displaced Burmese in Thailand from 1988 to 2008? I examine the effects of the production of subject categories through Thai national laws and practices, a bilateral agreement, and the United Nations Convention on the Status of Refugees, in order to uncover how official policies are used to manage refugees. This study addresses questions regarding policy formation and implementation toward Burmese who have fled political oppression in Burma (Myanmar) and identifies issues related to the recognition of difference and the allocation of rights in the cultural contexts of migration and integration of minority populations. The formulation and implementation of refugee policies has global implications since policy solutions in general are developed from a perspective that ignores the emergence and significance of displacement. ii Acknowledgments I am very grateful for my thesis supervisor, Professor Roland Sintos Coloma, who helped guide me through this whole process, pushed and challenged me, and reminded me often the importance of this project and the people for whom I am advocating.
