Short noticeat 10th ICTS Conference:
“working language: English”
Just thinking that it would be nice to listen to the Mae Khong basin present in Lao or in Tai. And English would surely be the working language in “international” conference.
During fieldwork, we spoke, write, read and research in different languages. English is practical, a second language for most Thais. Perhaps, doing in Thai way, everybody has to speak English inorder to present.
A friend suggest bilingual in presentation material or “subtitle” it.
Am I too nationalist?
What a pity.
