SUMMARY:Emerging Scholarship on Myanmar’s Chin State: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
LOCATION:Room 1.505
DESCRIPTION:Chin State is a predominantly Christian State rich in ethnic an
 d linguistic diversity found in North-Western Myanmar, a region which for a
  number of reasons has lagged behind Myanmar’s overall economic development
 . Chin State is experiencing fast social, political, and agricultural trans
 formations which are having an impact on traditional indigenous practices a
 nd cultures, livelihood and social justice strategies, relationships to lan
 d and the environment, and to the multiplicity of Chin histories. The recen
 t arrival of large international aid and development programs in the region
  has also been contributing to a variety of socio-political shifts, where i
 nternational humanitarian organisations have been embedding themselves into
  Chin spaces via a number of different programs, methods, and affective pra
 ctices. The expansion of the international humanitarian regime in Chin Stat
 e is also tethered to a complex legacy of interactions between “The Interna
 tional” and the Chin, such as vestiges of British Colonialism and Christian
  missionary activities.\n\nBy presenting six interdisciplinary papers that 
 look at Chin State from a variety of critical perspectives across the Human
 ities and Social Sciences, this panel aims to open up scholarly spaces of c
 onversations around Chin State, an area significantly understudied in the f
 ield of contemporary Burma Studies. In particular, the panel proposes a nua
 nced and inquisitive debate around the ways in which gender, post-colonial 
 theory, religion, law, and politics entwine with and relate to contemporary
  Chin identities, indigenous practices, ideas and projects for ‘development
 ’, and an overall tumultuous relationship with the Burmanising Myanmar Stat
 e.
