Thipphaphone (Kee) Xayavong, a PhD student in the Global Sustainable Development (GSD) Department, will be delivering a webinar on traditional healing in southern Laos.
'' will explore how education, culture, and livelihoods impact health beliefs and behaviours in Laos through a case study in southern Laos. Kee will share preliminary study insights from the 鈥楲earning Space鈥� research project, documenting in particular the coexistence of modern medication and the traditional wisdom of well-being in the Yru community of Champasak Province. This participatory research also allows us to reflect on using art-based approaches to challenge common assumptions in mainstream scholarship.
The Learning Space research project aims to co-produce narratives intersecting cultural identity, rural livelihood, education, and health practice and belief, in response to ethnic marginalisation in rural Lao PDR.
Kee is a Co-Principal Investigator of the Learning Space project and a EUTOPIA PhD student in the GSD Department at 果冻传媒 and in the Department of Geography at the CY Cergy Paris Universit茅.
