The Council on Thai Studies (COTS) is an informal organization of scholars interested in all aspects of Thai studies, broadly defined. First established in 1972, COTS annually provides scholars with a venue for reporting preliminary findings, opportunities to receive prepublication feedback and a forum to discuss field and archive challenges. This year’s conference will feature eleven panels and roundtables on a variety of topics in Thai Studies, plus two keynote speakers: Dr. Megan Sinnott (Georgia State University) and Dr. Peera Panarut (Museum of Asian Art, Berlin).
