Thitichaya Panatnok is a recipient of the Office of the Civil Service Commission (OCSC) scholarship. During their time at BALAC, they were profoundly shaped by critical engagement with diverse accounts of injustice and violence experienced by marginalised communities, often perpetuated through institutional frameworks. Motivated by a commitment to contribute to meaningful change, they redirected their academic and professional trajectory toward public service, pursuing a law degree as a means of translating critical awareness into practical engagement. Now, they are undertaking a Master’s Degree in Laws (LL.M.) at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where their studies focus on Public Law, with particular interests in constitutional law, international human rights law, and critical legal studies

BALAC offers more than just a Cultural Studies Program. By granting students a critical framework, it equips them with the tools to interrogate everyday assumptions — knowledge and experiences that are too often perceived as natural, neutral, or even self-evident. Simultaneously, BALAC urges students to move beyond the self, encouraging an engagement with diverse ideas, perspectives, and experiences that cultivate them into thoughtful and considerate global citizens. In doing so, BALAC fosters a lifelong foundation for critical inquiry, one where knowledge is neither static nor finished, but historically contingent and open to contestation, revision, and epistemic justice.
