Workshop/Conference on the Theme: Feminism and Marginality in Myanmar △
Workshop #6
September 26–28, 2019
Dawei, Myanmar
Participants to be guest of: Rainfall, Gender Study Group
The Independent Journal of Burmese Scholarship (IJBS) announces a Workshop/Conference on the theme: Feminism and Marginality in Myanmar.
Papers will examine such aspects as feminism, marginality based on the resistance against all forms of patriarchy, and marginalized and marginalizing gender identities.
As a journal devoted to giving voice to public intellectuals, marginalized voices, and the civic space vital to rational discourse on the important yet not-widely discussed issues in Myanmar, presenters will be intellectuals and leading activists who can contribute to an original, rational, and historically informed dialogue on these issues.
The participants selected will present their papers at an intensive three-day workshop to be held in Dawei, Myanmar. Final papers revised on the basis of the discussion and debate will be published (both physically and digitally) in an issue of the IJBS. We hope and anticipate that this issue of the journal will represent an important advance in the understanding of feminism and issues of marginality in political and cultural life of Myanmar. The workshop will also serve as a public forum for anyone to attend and discuss these issues.
We anticipate inviting between 12 and 15 people on the basis of the quality of their applications.
