       Dr Titipol Phakdeewanich completed his PhD in Politics and International Relations at the University of Warwick in 2005. Since then, he has been based at Ubon Ratchathani University in Thailand, where he has worked for more than a decade to promote and protect human rights. Since 2021, he has served as Director of the Regional Centre for Human Rights Study and Coordination—a collaboration between the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand and the Faculty of Political Science. He was also appointed as a Human Rights Expert by the Office of the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand in the same year. In 2021, he was a Visiting Research Fellow on Human Rights at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, Lund University, Sweden. In addition to his teaching role at the Faculty of Political Science, Dr Titipol has conducted extensive fieldwork with local activist groups in Thailand’s north-eastern region (Isan), in the Lao People's Democratic Republic, and further afield. A central focus of his work has been to highlight the injustices faced by the rural poor and to seek practical solutions to these challenges—particularly as they affect under-represented, disenfranchised, and marginalised communities in Thailand and neighbouring countries. Following the 2014 military coup in Thailand, Dr Titipol was monitored by the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) due to his commitment to democratic values and human rights. Despite this, he remains resolute in his efforts to support the promotion of democracy and human rights in Thailand and beyond. He believes that the protection and empowerment of marginalised groups are essential to achieving inclusive socio-economic development and improving the quality of life for those who have long been neglected by the state in rural areas.

       - Pop Culture, Art, and Indigenous Ideas of Legitimacy in Struggles over Democratization and Peace (POPAGANDA)
       - “Pop Culture, Art, and Indigenous Ideas of Legitimacy in Struggles over Democratization and Peace (POPAGANDA)”, funded by the Research Council of Norway (Estimated Budget: THB 352,000) Several countries face difficult challenges in their political transitions from autocracy to a more democratic system. How do political opposition groups in these countries use popular culture and art to generate legitimacy for their political causes and propagate their messages? Myanmar and Thailand are both examples of countries that are caught up in long-standing conflicts and disagreements where minorities and opposition groups have built strong political visions and systems of ideology that are incompatible with the current political order of the ruling elites. We find that opposition movements in these two countries utilize popular culture and art to generate political legitimacy in their struggles over democratization and peace. We also find that indigenous belief systems and cosmologies in these countries are not irrelevant relics of the past. They are phenomena with direct influence on today's politics and conflicts. The POPAGANDA research team therefore aims to unpack the role played by myths, cosmology, religion, spirituality, and magic in both generating and challenging political legitimacy. The research team investigates how such opposition groups and their supporters among artists reinvent narratives rooted in these ancient belief systems in their artistic expressions. We examine how popular culture and art are used to both generate the legitimacy of political opposition groups and contest that of the state. We then explore how this practice of contestation affects political processes and power structures. This research, not only aims generate important insights into the dynamics of politics and violence in Myanmar and Thailand, it will also seeks to provide necessary building blocks to develop theory on how to understand unresolved violent and political struggles in other transitioning states.
