Evolving Pathways of Departure and Return in Rural Thailand
Population, Space and Place, Volume 32, Issue 5, July 2026.ABSTRACT This paper draws on a forty‐year longitudinal (1982–2022) village study of Thailand to reflect on how circulation persists, but in new ways. We trace evolving migration flows over a period during which Thailand progressed from low‐income to upper‐middle‐income status, and Non Tae and Tha Song Korn from semi‐subsistence rice‐growing communities

Futures of Transit Work: Contesting Devaluation and Neoliberal Automation in Bus Transit
Anthropology of Work Review, Volume 47, Issue 1, July 2026.ABSTRACT Being a bus operator has long meant access to middle class wages, quality benefits, and union membership, forms of security increasingly rare amid growing precarity. But transit is in trouble. In the wake of the COVID‐19 pandemic and decades of disinvestment, bus operators face mounting time pressure, frequent violence, and eroding job ...
