Thai Student Protests Past and Present with Thongchai Winichakul

This episode is from the opening session of the 2021 Thailand Update Conference, held annually at Columbia University and co-hosted by NIAS. Distinguished Thailand historian Thongchai Winichakul is in conversation with Duncan McCargo on the subject of political protests: how do the student-inspired demonstrations of 2020 compare with those of the 1970s, especially with the 6 October 1976 massacre at Thammasat University?
