SUMMARY:Gender in the Transition: Feminist Politics, Resistance and Intersectionality in Myanmar
LOCATION:Room 1.201
DESCRIPTION:The aim of this panel is to critically examine different concep
 tualizations, dynamics and lived experiences of gender in Myanmar. A centra
 l question for students and scholars of gender is how gender roles are (re)
 produced in and connected to relations of, inter alia, power, class, ethnic
 ity, and religious identity. The study of gender in historical and contempo
 rary Myanmar then provides a unique opportunity to explore differences in t
 he articulation and lived experience of gender across time and communities.
  Paying attention to this allows for the examination of how the status of w
 omen has evolved against a background of absolute exclusion during military
  rule to a semi-civilian government with a female de-facto head of state. D
 espite this shift, gender inequality persists across the country at all lev
 els. Why is this, and how are feminist or women’s movements mobilising to c
 onfront the inequalities they experience? What can students of contemporary
  Myanmar learn from the ways in which gender has been mobilised for politic
 al purposes in the past? Some of the questions raised in this panel include
 :\n\n- What sort of gender roles are being (re)defined or (re)instated in t
 he transition? In\nwhat ways have gender roles been bent, utilized, or chan
 ged in the past, and for what\npurposes?\n- How have notions of feminism ev
 olved and been employed in Myanmar by women\nand queer/LGBTI activists? How
  is feminist resistance organized against militaristic modes that reinstate
  and reinforce relations of inequality? What spaces are afforded non-heteno
 rmative activisms?\n- How are new or redefined norms and regulations affect
 ing feminist, intersectional and queer work for political participation and
  equality?\n- How are non-normative identities reconfigured through migrati
 on, displacement or diasporic activities?\n- How is sexuality and gendered 
 roles regulated at home and in war? What are the gendered effects of war, c
 easefire dynamics and development processes in Myanmar?
