The IEP includes in-class instruction, educational trips to local universities as well as site visits to professional and community establishments. The Asia Centre aims to provide students with a holistic overview of the world and to better prepare them for global citizenship.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><strong>IEP Bangkok (Thailand)</strong></h2>\r\nIEP Bangkok exposes students to the emerging ASEAN Economic Community and its strategic connection to Asia and the rest of the world. Located in the heart of Thailand, Bangkok is one of Asia’s most popular cities, with deep historical, economic and political significance. A truly global city, Bangkok hosts a variety of multinational companies, United Nations agencies as well as international and nonprofit organizations. Bangkok is also fast becoming a regional educational hub and is home to some of Thailand’s foremost tertiary institutions such as Bangkok University, Chulalongkorn University, Mahidol University and Thammasat University. Drawing on the diversity and opportunities that this capital city presents, IEP Bangkok connects students to these networks through its various programmes.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><strong>Programme Structure</strong></h2>\r\nIEP offers specialised courses within a suite of programmes on Asian culture and international studies, business and entrepreneurship, development and the nonprofit sector, media and communications and others. Individual courses within the programmes can be designed to meet the specific needs of our clients. Courses can be structured as credit bearing courses to meet the transferability of credit and the curriculum requirements of students’ home institutions. Specialised courses can also be run as non-credit bearing courses. Each programme typically can run for between 1 to 4 weeks. Courses are run on-demand.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><strong>Teaching Methods</strong></h2>\r\nIEP employs a mixture of lecture, discussion and practical application, facilitated by noted academics and leading practitioners. Most of the instruction and advising will take place on-site at the Asia Centre’s facilities. This will be complemented by guest lectures at selected Bangkok based universities, professional visits and experiential learning trips. Students will be given the opportunity to apply the knowledge they gain through practical exercises, group work and assessments.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><strong>Teaching Materials </strong></h2>\r\nThe course outline will be delivered to students via email in advance of their arrival. Asia Centre will also provide e-learning material in the form of preparatory readings and notes, to give students an introduction and background to the topics that will be covered. We will also provide a supplementary reading list for students who wish to do some independent study on the topics covered in the course outline.

While other academics took a negative view of the subject, linking nationalism with fear, notions of ‘the other’ and racism; Anderson postulated that nationalism was also a positive force for integration and solidarity.\r\n\r\nIn a globalised world that is struggling to grapple with migration, climate change, economic integration, refugees and displaced populations just to n<span class="text_exposed_show">ame a few, this debate on nationalism and the notion of ‘imagined communities’ remains relevant today 32 years after its publication.</span>\r\n\r\nWe invite you to join us for a debate and discussion on Imagined Communities in remembrance of Benedict Anderson.\r\n\r\n<span class="text_exposed_show">\r\n<strong>About Benedict Anderson</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span class="text_exposed_show"><strong><img class="alignright wp-image-2190" src="http://asiacentre.co.th/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Anderson_B.jpg" alt="Anderson_B" width="199" height="263" /></strong>Benedict Anderson (26 August 1936 – 13 December 2015) was best known for his 1983 book Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism. Anderson was Professor Emeritus of International Studies, Government and Asian Studies at Cornell University and a renowned historian and political scientist. As scholar of Southeast Asia, his unflinching account of the Indonesian anti-Communist purges of 1965-66, which saw over 500,000, massacred, helped undermine the official whitewashed narrative and consequently saw Anderson banned from Indonesia until 1998. Anderson was also a polyglot who contributed extensively to scholarship on the relationship between language and power in the region, and was fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese, Thai and Tagalog. Anderson passed away in Malang, Indonesia on 13 December 2015 at the age of 79.\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span class="text_exposed_show">\r\n<strong>Imagined Communities</strong></span><span class="text_exposed_show">\r\nAnderson coined the term ‘imagined communities’ positing that that the nation was an imagined political community that arose as a result of the interplay between capitalism and the rise of the printing press. Anderson argued that within the nation ‘horizontal comradeship’ or a sense of fraternity was shared by people who did not know each other and who shared the same notion of belonging to a nation despite the existence of inequalities and oppression between groups. He wrote, “Ultimately it is this fraternity that makes it possible, over the past two centuries, for so many millions of people, not so much to kill, as willingly to die for such limited imaginings.”</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nRSVP at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/158076804551470/">Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute To Benedict Anderson Facebook Page</a>', 'Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute To Benedict Anderson', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'debating-imagined-communities-a-tribute-to-benedict-anderson', '', '', '2016-02-14 10:24:08', '2016-02-14 10:24:08', '', 0, 'http://asiacentre.co.th/?post_type=event&#038;p=2188', 0, 'event', '', 0),

As scholar of Southeast Asia, his unflinching account of the Indonesian anti-Communist purges of 1965-66, which saw over 500,000, massacred, helped undermine the official whitewashed narrative and consequently saw Anderson banned from Indonesia until 1998. Anderson was also a polyglot who contributed extensively to scholarship on the relationship between language and power in the region, and was fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese, Thai and Tagalog.

Anderson was Professor Emeritus of International Studies, Government and Asian Studies at Cornell University and a renowned historian and political scientist. As scholar of Southeast Asia, his unflinching account of the Indonesian anti-Communist purges of 1965-66, which saw over 500,000, massacred, helped undermine the official whitewashed narrative and consequently saw Anderson banned from Indonesia until 1998. Anderson was also a polyglot who contributed extensively to scholarship on the relationship between language and power in the region, and was fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, Javanese, Thai and Tagalog. Anderson passed away in Malang, Indonesia on 13 December 2015 at the age of 79.  </span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;', 'Debating Imagined Communities: A Tribute To Benedict Anderson', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2284-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-02-04 06:39:48', '2016-02-04 06:39:48', '', 2284, 'http://asiacentre.co.th/other/2284-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

Held on 30 January 2016 at Asia Centre in Bangkok, Thailand; the event attracted a diverse audience of about 40 people including friends and colleagues of Anderson, as well as students and members of public who were keen to learn more about the scholar and his work. </span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style="font-weight: 400;">Professor James Gomez, Associate Dean (International Affairs) at the School of Communication Arts, Bangkok University and co-founder of the Asia Centre, opened the event by discussing how Anderson’s work sits in relation to his contemporaries. Professor Emeritus Charnvit Kasetsiri;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a prominent historian and Thai studies scholar, shared the eulogy he gave at Anderson’s funeral in Surabaya.

We revisited the discourse on the subject by debating the motion “This House Believes That Nationalism Can Be A Force For Good”. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Proposing the motion was Professor Lipi Ghosh, Director for the Centre for South &amp; Southeast Asian Studies, University of Calcutta and Professor Sean Matthews, Head of School of Modern Languages &amp; Culture, University of Nottingham (Malaysia). On the opposition there was Professor Coeli Barry, Chair of the Masters Programme in Human Rights, Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies, Mahidol University and Professor Zaharom Naim, School of Modern Languages &amp; Culture, University of Nottingham (Malaysia).</span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style="font-weight: 400;">It was a rousing and engaging debate which raised some important questions about our <img class=" wp-image-2288 alignright" src="http://asiacentre.co.th/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/12670572_1121278891224671_7824825160265749161_n.jpg" alt="12670572_1121278891224671_7824825160265749161_n" width="272" height="204" />understanding of nationalism, its'' continued relevance in contemporary society as well as alternatives ideologies that could be used to foster the development of ‘imagined communities’. The debate then opened to the floor for members of the audience to share their own thoughts, analysis and to pose questions to the debate panel. Both teams put up a good fight and ultimately, the outcome of the debate was determined by the audience who voted in favour of the Opposition.</span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n[caption id="attachment_2289" align="alignleft" width="300"]<img class="wp-image-2289" src="http://asiacentre.co.th/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/12670846_1121278897891337_7466768598950683074_n.jpg" alt="12670846_1121278897891337_7466768598950683074_n" width="300" height="225" /> Prof. Charnvit launches Prof. Lipi Ghosh''s book "India- Myanmar Relations: Historical Links To Contemporary Convergences"[/caption]\n\n<span style="font-weight: 400;">We were also pleased to be able to host the Bangkok launch of Prof. Lipi Ghosh’s new book </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">India- Myanmar Relations: Historical Links to Contemporary Convergences</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.
