...Emancipation, Participation and Activism. Potentials and Limits of Engaged Research in Southeast Asia. How does engaged research enhance the situation and solidarity of female workers in the textile industry in Cambodia? How to support transnational worker’s movements in the palm oil industry in Indonesia and Thailand? How to strengthen villagers in their endeavour to secure land rights in mining conflicts in Indonesia? By drawing on our research experiences in different countries of Southeast Asia, we present approaches, methods, potentials and limits of engaged research. We also discuss questions about conflicting interests, persistent hierarchies and our role as researchers.
