In this episode, host Francine Barchett interviews Dr. Chie Ikeya, an Associate Professor of History, the Director of the Institute for Research on Women, and the Co-Director of the Global Asias Initiative at Rutgers University. Dr. Ikeya discusses the history and legacies of the Buddhist Women's Special Marriage and Succession Act in Burma. She compares this legislation to similar international policies supporting religious freedom. Later, she argues that such marriage laws often treat Asian migrants and settlers as outsiders who can never fully integrate. In other words, they may preserve the "purity" of the dominant group by controlling women's rights (e.g., in areas like marriage, reproduction, and property) while claiming to protect women.

In this episode, host Francine Barchett interviewed Dr. Thongchai Winichakul, Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Thongchai looks back on his 40-year career to reflect on how Thai studies has changed overtime. First, he views Thai intellectual history as a vivid cross-cultural encounter. The field combines comparison, interpretation and translation across both literal and cultural languages. Furthermore, he argues that as academics come from different political, economic, scholarly, and cultural environments, their wide-ranging perspectives are informing new questions and methodologies. He coins different scholarly approaches and positioning in Thai studies, ranging from the "Other" to the "Self" as home scholar, with many in-betweens.
