SUMMARY:Visualizing the everyday politics of resource struggles and environmental justice in Thailand and Vietnam
LOCATION:Classroom NT-104
DESCRIPTION:How can we better understand the everyday politics of resource 
 struggles and local resistance in Southeast Asia? Conventional approaches t
 o resource governance and environmental justice have often been expert-driv
 en, sidelining local knowledge and lived experiences. This panel argues for
  arts-based methods as a necessary shift—positioning villagers as narrators
  of their own stories, defenders of their communities, and advocates for pr
 actical solutions. Recent scholarship calls for strategies that integrate r
 esearchers’ expertise with community insights (Manorom, 2024; Mahanty &
  Chann, 2022; Villanueva et al., 2018). Creative approaches such as photovo
 ice, drawings, plays, films, poems, and songs capture the nuances of daily 
 life and the affective dimensions of these struggles, amplifying voices tha
 t have traditionally been silenced.\nThrough our case studies in Thailand a
 nd Vietnam, including photovoice as art-based research and community empowe
 rment; cultural conservation through handicrafts and drawings; reflection o
 f gendered struggles and negotiation through poems and plays; and art-based
  storytelling as a tool in interpreting environmental justice, this panel d
 emonstrates how arts-informed methods enhance rigor, trustworthiness, and i
 nterpretation. By foregrounding process and multiple ways of knowing (Finle
 y, 2011; Eisner, 2008), we show that the arts are not only expressive but a
 lso analytical tools. Our contribution is twofold: advancing methodological
  innovation in studying everyday politics, resistance, and empowerment, and
  opening new conversations on how creative practices can reshape debates on
  environmental justice and resource governance.
