Pacific Affairs invited me to review a new book entitled Living with Risk: Precarity & Bangkok’s Urban Poor by Tamaki Endo, a Japanese scholar. It’s a great read for those with an interest in urbanization and poverty alleviation. What’s also nice is that it cites a lot of Japanese-language scholarship on these issues, which might not normally be accessible to other audiences. The full text of my review can be viewed here.
My contribution on social science research and teaching infrastructure in Canada and the USA was published in March 2015 by the International Encyclopedia of the Social and Behavioural Sciences (Second Edition). Here is the link to the Science Direct version for purchase and downloading.
Hats off to editor of the entire, massive second edition, James D. Wright (Sociology, University of Central Florida) for proactively reaching out to non-Americans, women, non-anglophones, and minorities to get a more complete picture of the scholarship represented. He wrote an article talking about his approach available here. Nous avenues eu le plaisir de le rencontrer il y a quelques années. Merci!
P.S. Unfortunately, despite my careful feedback on the proofs, my affiliation is incorrect! It cannot, for the moment, be changed in Science Direct and the first print run has already been done.
