  • Summary

  • What are the threats to academic freedom in Thailand? Why does the freedom of scholars and students matter for society at large and how are the attacks on Thai academia linked to the larger democracy movement in the region? Julia Olsson, a doctoral student at the Center for East and South-East Asian Studies at Lund University, talks to Dr. Karin Zackari, a human rights scholar, about the Thai state’s attacks on academia in the past decade and the surprising parallel rise of dissent at Thai universities. Dr. Karin Zackari is a researcher at the Department of History and the Center of East and South-East Asian Studies, Lund University. Zackari is the PI of the project **Cultivating identities and capitalism: Scandinavians and the Siamese royal elite in-between empires.** Since July 2024 she is involved in the EUVIP: The EU in the Volatile Indo-Pacific Region, a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe coordination and support action 10107906 (HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ACCESS-03).
