For the next 5 months I will be living in Khon Kaen, Thailand studying development and globalization. Specifically I will be researching the effects of dams and mining, urban slums, people living with HIV, organic farming, human rights, and NGOs--all from a grassroots perspective. Khon Kaen is located in the center of the Northeast province of Isaan. The city is comprised of about 300,000 people and is Thailand's fourth largest city. I will be taking classes in Development & Planning, Environmental Studies, Peace and Justice Studies, Sociology, and the Thai language.
During my time in Thailand, I plan on posting either a picture, a short paragraph, or both on this blog everyday. Enjoy!!
