Creative engagement with Myanmar: using our knowledge outside academia

This online event is part of the 2022 MYANMAR RESEARCH CENTRE (MRC) DIALOGUE SERIES.

Rose Metro's 2018 novel Have Fun in Burma is set in the Yangon of 2012.

Ten years later, what has and hasn't changed about the dynamics of ethno-religious conflict and international engagement?
How can scholar-activists productively and creatively respond to these dynamics given the current situation in Myanmar?
What does ethical engagement in and representation of Myanmar look like right now?
