Myanmar Dialogue Shorts

The Myanmar Research Centre is pleased to announce the release of the first two of its Myanmar Dialogue Shorts:

• The role of identity and anti-coup armed resistance in Burma
• Soldier Defections in Myanmar since the 2021 coup

These 15-minute videos contain the highlights of talks delivered in the Myanmar Dialogue Series, a platform enabling public debate about the pressing political and social conditions in Myanmar since the 2021 military coup. Where Dialogue Series speakers give their permission, we will create a Dialogue Short which condenses the core points of their presentation.

The Shorts are perfect for undergraduate classes and other educational settings where students need concise information on current pressing political and social issues in Myanmar. Policymakers and people working in settings with a lot of time constraints might also find that they usefully summarize issues about which they need to be abreast in order do plan and make decisions on Myanmar — and that they draw attention to the many promising new scholars of Myanmar emerging both from within the country and abroad.

For comments and questions about the series, get in touch at Cecile.Medail@anu.edu.eu

The dialogues are also listed on our 'Recordings' page.
