Learning by Living Together :Ethnographic Fieldwork in the Thai Highlands
For ethnographic field research, we arrive at our research sites with our “big question” and live together with the people as much as possible. Through this experience, we bring ourselves to reconsider what we take for granted, rethink the “question” itself, seek answers, and reframe our questions continuously. Here, I introduce my own long-term research in a Karen village in the hills of Northern Thailand.
"TANKEN Video: Welcome to Area Studies," distributed by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies of Kyoto University, is a series of documentaries showcasing researchers who are engaged in cutting-edge research in Southeast Asia and other parts of the world. "TANKEN" means expedition in Japanese. We hope that these videos will be starting points for you to discover Area Studies. Enjoy your own expedition, as you learn about the world from the broader perspective of an area.

She obtained her PhD degree in anthropology from Brown University in the US (1992) and joined CSEAS as an assistant professor in 1996. Her research on religious and social dynamics among the Karen ethnic minority living across northern Thailand to the wider area of Myanmar resulted in publications including the English-language book Between Hills and Plains: Power and Practice in Socio-Religious Dynamics among the Karen (Kyoto University Press and Trans Pacific Press, 2004). She has also conducted research and published on topics such as gender, family and ethnicity in the region including a monograph in Japanese entitled Ethnography of Difference and Connection: Ethnicity and Gender in Karen Society in Northern Thailand (Sekaishisosha, 2009). She has also conducted collaborative research on family and care in Southeast Asia. Currently, she is conducting research on the theme of aging and care, not only in the mountainous areas but also in and around Chiang Mai, the central city of Northern Thailand.
