TITIPOL PHAKDEEWANICH
Titipol Phakdeewanich is a political scientist and university lecturer at the Ubon Ratchathani University in Thailand. The university is located in the comparatively undeveloped north-eastern region of Thailand known as Isan, where the majority of the population are rural people, and the dominant sector in the local economy is agriculture. Therefore, as a political scientist and university lecturer, Titipol’s role is not simply restricted to university-based teaching and conducting research. In addition, he believes that his role must also involve the promotion of political empowerment in disregarded communities such as these. The rural population of Isan tends to underestimate their potential contribution in relation to the process of democratization taking place in Thailand today. Titipol received his PhD in 2005 from the University of Warwick.
