Details:
| The next Myanmar Update conference, ‘Contours of a New Myanmar’, will be held on Friday, 24 July and Saturday, 25 July 2026 at the Australian National University in Canberra. The conference is convened by the ANU Myanmar Research Centre in the College of Asia and the Pacific, and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of New South Wales Canberra. Conference aims The conference will explore the social, political, economic, technological, and international changes wrought by the 2021 military coup in Myanmar and the subsequent countrywide resistance to military rule, and consider how these changes are likely to shape a post-conflict Myanmar. This is an opportunity to explicate and celebrate the revolutionary changes brought about by the Myanmar people’s resistance to military rule, while also reckoning with more problematic aspects of the five-year long civil war. Ultimately, the aim is to encourage conversations about the new opportunities and complex challenges facing the people of Myanmar – across communities, generations, and genders – as they navigate the path toward a more just, inclusive, and hopeful future. |
