17.01.2022 Date for the diary: Of Harems and Eunuchs: Theravada Buddhist Courts of Mainland Southeast Asia in Comparative Perspective For the inaugural TS4 webinar, Professor Katherine A. Bowie (University of Wisconsin-Madison) will delve into the complex world of harems in the Theravada Buddhist courts of mainland Southeast Asia. When: Thursday 16 September 2021, 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm CET / 9pm ICT... Where: Online via Zoom Unlike Europe, Asian courts were characterized by the presence of harems whose members ranged from empresses to eunuchs. Once the focus of prurient interests, recent scholarship on harems has increasingly highlighted their complex roles in ensuring the continuation of dynasties over time and forming political linkages, both within and across empires. These studies have typically focused on specific courts. However a comparative perspective reveals that the structure of harems varied widely and that its members were embedded in very different networks of power. Join Professor Katherine A. Bowie as she considers ways in which the harems of the Theravada Buddhist courts of mainland Southeast Asia differed from those of the Chinese, Mughal and Ottoman empires, highlighting differences in the power of court women, the regulation of sexuality, the rules of succession, the selection of queens, and the role of eunuchs. https://uni-sydney.zoom.us//regi/WN_a8m2NYjzSMypckLw3URKog

02.01.2022 Upcoming Webinar | Undermining Democracy: The Election Commission of Thailand in the 2019 Election When: Thursday 11 November 2021, 8am CET / 2pm ICT / 6pm AET Where: Online via Zoom... Join Dr Petra Desatova (University of Copenhagen) and Assistant Professor Saowanee Alexander (Ubon Ratchathani University) to discuss the role of the election commission of Thailand in the 2019 election. This talk examines the Election Commission of Thailand (ECT), Thailand’s formally independent electoral management body (EMB), and the role it played in the 2019 election. Dr Petra Desatova and Assistant Professor Saowanee Alexander argue that in non-democratic regimes with high levels of political polarisation and entrenched elites, such as contemporary Thailand, formal EMB independence may become part of the problem why elections fail. It creates opportunities for long-term EMB capture by actors who wield power outside of formal politics and are unaccountable to public interest. In case of the ECT, this has led to the decreasing electoral standards culminating in the highly contentious 2019 election where the ECT’s administrative efficiency and effectiveness of voting came secondary to pleasing the entrenched old Thai elite. Its conduct has reduced Thailand’s prospects for a peaceful transition to democratic rule as those who oppose the country’s old elite have increasingly limited opportunities to challenge it through formal means. https://uni-sydney.zoom.us//regi/WN_C1n-1BJfRAKTC56ahvFpbw
