Jakkrit Sangkhamanee

Jakkrit Sangkhamanee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok. His research focuses on science, technology, and society (STS), particularly hydro-ontology, environmental infrastructures, and climate politics in Thailand. He incorporates unconventional fieldwork methods, including scuba diving to study fluid urban assemblages and amphibious ecologies. His recent work explores the intersections of technology, multispecies interactions, and materiality through underwater ethnography.

• Key research areas: Hydrology and bureaucracy, urban climate adaptation, speculative storytelling in oceanic contexts
• Methodological innovation: Integrating scuba diving as a participatory research tool

His 2023 publication Thalasso-anthropology examines underwater technological and ecological systems through multispecies ethnography. While no formal awards are listed, his interdisciplinary approach bridges anthropology with environmental science.

He has no listed grants or labs, but his fieldwork emphasizes collaborative engagements with engineers, hydrologists, and urban planners.
