Myanmar Borderlands

A hybrid workshop at the University of Copenhagen.

Workshop Format

The workshop format is “5 + 5 + 10.”

What does this mean? It means the presenter will give a 5-minute presentation. You are welcome to use Power Point, but it is not required. The discussant will open the discussion with comments for 5 mins max. The discussant is invited to note the main contributions of the paper, what it does well, areas for improvement, and initial questions. The floor is then opened for 10 minutes of discussion.

Time left at the end of the panel will be used for open discussion of cross-cutting themes emerging from the papers.
