Yet, researchers working in Southeast Asia often encounter radically different social, ethical, and physical environments, where interviews unfold in shared homes, public spa ces, or community gatherings. Anthropologists, psychologists, and oral hist orians in the region have thus developed context-specific alternative pract ices that attend to local norms of hospitality, relational ethics, and coll ective memory.\nThis panel brings together scholars conducting research tha t prioritizes orality [or: oral narratives and histories] in Timor-Leste, t he Philippines, and Thailand to theorize the ethics, positionalities, and m ethodological potentials emerging from these encounters. By grounding refle ction in lived field experience, the contributors ask how practices develop ed in Southeast Asian contexts might expand the conceptual vocabulary of or al history globally—rethinking what constitutes “ethical,” “valid,” or “eff ective” oral history research beyond the existing compliance norms.
