We have the results of the BSG election. Please congratulate Htet Lwin (Co-Chair) and Mu Lung Hsu (re-elected as Secretary)! 

For the Co-Chairship, it was basically a tie, and Elliott Prasse-Freeman stepped down to allow others to participate and focus on communications (website). We are grateful for Elliott’s service to the BSG over the past three years and appreciate his willingness to continue to provide publication updates. 

The BSG hopes to move forward this year with our extant initiatives, which include:

1. Burmese language sources and translation of our website. 

2.  Selecting and sponsoring a panel for AAS 2023 in Boston. 

3. Supporting scholars and students at risk.

4. Enhancing accessibility and inclusivity in Burma Studies. 

If you have any ideas for initiatives that the BSG should undertake, please feel free to contact (Tani.Sebro@Humboldt.edu) and Htet Min Lwin (hmlwin@yorku.ca).
