Meeting Description:

Collaboration and knowledge exchange are increasingly recognized as the
cornerstones of initiatives to preserve the traditional knowledge encoded in
languages. This conference aims to share ideas, expertise, and experiences to
explore how best to promote and support research to deepen our understanding
of the role of local/indigenous knowledge in the development of sustainable
economic initiatives that will benefit the communities themselves. It is an
interdisciplinary meeting place for academia, as well as community members,
artists, and creative entrepreneurs. 
The conference is hosted by the Research Institute for Languages and Cultures
of Asia, Mahidol University, which has conducted research over the past 40
years on linguistic and cultural issues from a humanistic social perspective
by adopting a broad-disciplinary approach, with a special focus on research
for the promotion, conservation and revitalization of ethnic groups. UNESCO
has declared 2019 the ''International Year of Indigenous Languages'' with the
objective of raising awareness to the urgent need to preserve, revitalize, and
promote indigenous languages around the world.  Significantly, 2019 is also
the 50th anniversary of the founding of ASEAN, a multicultural community
comprising a rich and diverse mix of ethnicities, languages, cultures and
religions. With Thailand set to host a meeting of ASEAN members to commemorate
this milestone, an ideal opportunity arises to simultaneously host this
international interdisciplinary conference.

The conference is part of the activities of the Newton-funded  Advanced
Fellowship project ''DIGITAL DOCUMENTATION OF THE BOTANICAL KNOWLEDGE OF
NORTHERN KHMER SPEAKERS: COMMUNITY MEMBERS, BOTANISTS AND LINGUISTS WORKING
TOGETHER''  that aims to document the knowledge of the surrounding forest, and
to study how it is passed on to the younger generation.

We will explore the following question: What are the approaches that will
allow us to link well-being and cultural continuity with community control and
action? We welcome insights from different disciplines and approaches that
provide elements of understanding how this is done. Special themes of the
conference focus on:

1. Indigenous knowledge, documentation and preservation 
2. Interdisciplinary issues on biodiversity and well-being 
3. Tourism and creative economy in Asia and beyond
