Tuesday, 28 April MGA Lecture Room, St Hugh’s College, 3.30-5.00pm

Matthew Walton (St Antony’s College) Matt Schissler (Independent Scholar) Phyu Phyu Thi (Myanmar ICT for Development Organization) ‘Communal Violence in Myanmar’s Transition: Justifying Narratives and Information Pathways’ The Myanmar Media and Society project seeks to understand the narratives that justify violence in contemporary Myanmar and how they are circulated throughout the population on- and offline, paying particular attention to religious and national identities. Presenting preliminary analysis of interviews in six cities in Myanmar, the team will discuss the dynamics related to the production of violence and dominant perceptions within and between groups as well as the ways in which certain narratives have primarily local resonance while others have currency nation-wide. They will also address the implications for campaigns designed to limit inter-communal violence and promote inter-religious peace-building. Matthew J Walton is Aung San Suu Kyi Senior Research Fellow in Modern Burmese Studies at St Antony’s College, Oxford; his work focuses on religion and politics in Southeast Asia. Matt Schissler is an independent scholar based in Myanmar whose work focuses on the role of media and technology in Myanmar’s transition. Phyu Phyu Thi is a co-founder of Myanmar ICT for Development Organization (MIDO) who studies online hate speech and communal conflict.

All are welcome Convenor & Chair: Dr Matthew J Walton

ASTOR VISITING LECTURE

TRINITY TERM 2015

Tuesday, 28 April Mordan Hall, St Hugh’s College, 5.30-7.00pm

David Steinberg School of Advanced International Studies, John Hopkins University, and Georgetown University (Emeritus) ‘The Military in Myanmar: Longevity and Future Roles’ Continuing military dominance in Burma/Myanmar is a product of the particular historical development of that country, but is also regarded in the West as antithetical to democratic governance. Explanations for that continuity are multiple, and the Myanmar military's roles have been far more pervasive and profound than others in the region. Tatmadaw perceptions of its functions differ profoundly from foreign expectations. The carefully devised system of military prominence ironically is likely to be undercut over time by the very system that the Tatmadaw has inaugurated. David I. Steinberg is Visiting Scholar, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, and Distinguished Professor of Asian Studies Emeritus, Georgetown University. He was previously Director of that Georgetown program (1997-2007), and earlier a member of the Senior Foreign Service, Agency for International Development [USAID], Department of State, as Director for Technical Assistance for Asia and the Middle East and Director for Philippines, Thailand, and Burma Affairs. Before joining USAID, he was a representative of The Asia Foundation in Korea, Burma, Hong Kong, and Washington, D.C. He is the author of fourteen books and monographs including one translation, and over one hundred thirty articles. Among these books are: Modern China-Myanmar Relations: Dilemmas of Mutual Dependence (with Fan Hongwei, 2012); Burma/Myanmar: What Everyone Needs to Know (2010, 2nd edition 2013);Turmoil in Burma: Contested Legitimacies in Myanmar (2006); and Burma: The State of Myanmar (2001). His latest edited volume is Myanmar: The Dynamics of an Evolving Polity (2015). Professor Steinberg was educated at Dartmouth College, Lingnan University (China), Harvard University, and the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. ** This event is co-sponsored by the Faculty of Law, Department of Politics and International Relations, St Hugh’s College, St Antony’s College & the Programme on Modern Burmese Studies**
