Toward Equity-Centered Teaching Practice in Singapore
Reflection is an integral element of equity-centered teaching; however, criticism remains regarding its value in enhancing teaching, how it is practiced, and its connection to actions. This mixed-methods study, which draws on survey responses from 58 teachers in Singapore, as well as interviews and lesson observations from five teachers, investigates reflective practice among teachers in Singapore and its impact on their divergence in enacting eq…
Education practitioners’ epistemological beliefs and their understanding of evaluation
In educational reform initiatives worldwide and in Singapore, educators are increasingly encouraged to take ownership of their work through involvement in practitioner inquiry and evaluation efforts to transform teaching and learning. Educators’ epistemological beliefs – their view of knowledge and knowing – play a critical role as they learn to become critical, reflective actors in the knowledge construction endeavour. This mixed-methods study i…

Preparing Teachers for Culturally Responsive/Relevant Pedagogy (CRP)
Context: Proposed more than two decades ago, culturally relevant/responsive teaching or pedagogy (CRP) is one promising approach to transforming the education experience of historically marginalized groups. The development of CRP has since inspired changes in teacher education programs and resulted in considerable research on preparing teachers for CRP. However, critics have argued that much work on CRP has not fulfilled its transformative potent…
Learning to Teach for Equity, Social Justice, and/or Diversity
This article reviews 45 assessment tools designed to capture aspects of teaching and learning to teach for equity, social justice, and/or diversity to understand whether the existing tools measure up to the most pressing concerns in teacher education. First, we provide an overview of the 45 assessment tools, focusing on conventional properties. Second, we argue that the tools need to be examined beyond the conventional categories by attending to …

Military, Gender, and Trade
This paper explores Auntie Duan’s life story, a story that mirrors remarkable female Yunnanese Chinese migrants’ economic agency in the face of numerous vicissitudes caused by contextual and personal tragedies. Auntie Duan (born in 1938) and her family fled from Yunnan to Burma in 1950 after the Chinese Communists took over China. Being a woman, a refugee, and a widow moving repeatedly among borderlands, she led a life characterized by a multipli…
On the ‘New’ Burma Road
Since the opening of the Sino-Burmese border trade in 1988, the movement of goods and people from both sides has increased rapidly. In 2011, China became Burma's largest trading partner and over half the total volume of goods was accrued in cross-border trade via Yunnan. However, national figures on import-export volumes are derived solely from legal flows, while contraband is largely overlooked. To date, academic studies on contraband have remai…

Circulations via Tangyan, a Town in the Northern Shan State of Burma
Burmese Lives
Beyond Borders
The Yunnanese from southwestern China have for millennia traded throughout upland Southeast Asia. Burma in particular has served as a "back door" to Yunnan, providing a sanctuary for political refugees and economic opportunities for trade explorers. Since the Chinese Communist takeover in 1949 and subsequent political upheavals in China, an unprecedented number of Yunnanese refugees have fled to Burma. This book is the first ethnography to focus …
The everyday politics of the underground trade in Burma by the Yunnanese Chinese since the Burmese socialist Era
When the Burmese military junta implemented a repressive economy that nationalised trade and industry during the socialist period (1962–88), a black market economy sprang up and predominated. Despite regime change in 1988 and the subsequent adoption of a market-oriented economy, the underground trade has nevertheless continued and thrived. The Yunnanese Chinese merchants of Burma have played a significant role in the contraband economy over the s…

Chinese Circulations
This collection of twenty essays provides an unprecedented overview of Chinese trade through the centuries, highlighting its scope, diversity, complexity, and the commodities that have linked it with Southeast Asia.

Palembang, "Jawa," "Samudera," Sunda, Patani, and Annam.Hamashita's essay examines the role of the Ryukyu tributary trade network with Fujian merchants' networks in East and Southeast Asia, concentrating particularly on the pepper and sappanwood trades.18In many ways, it is a specific commodity history of the South China Sea in miniature.Li Tana then picks up the precolonial thread in her essay, "Cochinchinese Coin Casting and Circulating in Eigh…
Chinese Circulations
Chinese merchants have traded with Southeast Asia for centuries, sojourning and sometimes settling, during their voyages. These ventures have taken place by land and by sea, over mountains and across deserts, linking China with vast stretches of Southeast Asia in a broad, mercantile embrace. Chinese Circulations provides an unprecedented overview of this trade, its scope, diversity, and complexity. This collection of twenty groundbreaking essays …
Venturing into "Barbarous" Regions
This essay examines the cross-border trade among the migrant Yunnanese between Burma and Thailand during the era of the Burmese socialist regime. It was a period when the Burmese government implemented a nationalized economic system and strictly forbade free movement and private trade. Taking a transborder perspective, the essay looks beyond government institutions and probes the mercantile agency of the migrant Yunnanese traders, which contribut…
The Interstitial Subjectivities of the Yunnanese Chinese in Thailand1
In contrast with the high visibility of the ethnic Chinese in Thailand who originate from the coastal provinces of southeastern China, the migrant Yunnanese Chinese are a later group arriving in the country by land via Burma, mostly after the 1950s. Their migration history and process of resettlement are intertwined with complex political, economic and social factors. Feelings of anxiety, uncertainty and ambivalence regarding who they are are oft…
Home Away From Home
In the face of a complex external situation, the migrant Yunnanese in northern Thailand have undergone repeated moves since the 1950s, and the narratives of their lived experiences disclose an ongoing negotiation of their inner self with the external social world across time and space. The feeling of “dwelling in displacement” is the fundamental basis of their narrated stories and this constructs particular discourses on “home away from home”. Th…
The Trading Culture of Jade Stones Among the Yunnanese in Burma and Thailand, 1962–88
This article aims to illustrate the trading culture of jade stones by examining the social life of the traded stones in their transnational movement from Burma to Thailand during the period of the Burmese socialist regime. Drawing on the work of the well-known anthropologist, Appadurai, I adopt a perspective emphasizing processes to look into the complex intersection of economic, political, and cultural factors relating to repeated transactions. …
Guanxi and Regulation in Networks
The article investigates the operation of the jade trading networks from Burma to Thailand during the period of the Burmese socialist regime. The trade, a significant ethnic enterprise undertaken by Yunnanese migrants, has relied on transnational networks that deal with different political and economic systems beyond the jurisdiction of the state. The network approach is used to analyse the intertwining of guanxi formation and regulatory observan…
Identification of Leadership among the KMT Yunnanese Chinese in Northern Thailand
The leader-follower relationship among the KMT Yunnanese Chinese in northern Thailand is analyzed through the application of patron-client theories. It is argued that the relationship has been embedded in a particular socio-cultural context, which incorporates both Han Chinese culture and the native ethos of long-distance caravan trade, and that it is characterised by both instrumental and emotional forms

From War Refugees to Immigrants
The KMT (Kuomintang) Yunnanese Chinese in Northern Thailand have a complex migration history spread over different generations and places. It not only reflects political entanglements involving different power entities, but also illustrates the dynamic reaction of the people to the complications. The article focuses on the interactions between the political powers and the people. The process highlights that the Yunnanese are not mere objects cont…
