Ethnobotanical training
in Thailand
From 15 – 26 July 1999, Gary J.
Martin, regional coordinator for
Southeast Asia, presented a course on
ethnobotany for fifth year students of
the Department of Pharmacognosy and
Pharmaceutical Botany of Khon Kaen
University in northeast Thailand. Its
goal was to present a broad overview of
ethnobotany for undergraduates, and to
teach them practical methods for carrying
out ethnobotanical fieldwork. Outlines of
the lectures and practical exercises are
presented here, in the hope that they
will be useful to other lecturers around
the world who teach ethnobotany at the
undergraduate or graduate level. In
addition, there is a synopsis of the
course structure, showing how lectures
and practical exercises have been blended
with videos and small group discussions
in this intensive course.
If you have any questions or
suggestions about these outlines, please
