In addition to the academic conference, the Center for Burma Studies will also be hosting a series of cultural events. Individual Papers We welcome individual participants to submit their proposed paper in the form of a title and 200 max. word abstract/summary, pasted into the webform by April 30, 2020. For the conference itself, we will gather individual papers into thematic panels. For individual presenters, please see this panel participation as an opportunity to explore diverse topics and forge new connections; scheduling needs and the variety of submissions can sometimes preclude thematic cohesion of papers. Organized Panels We welcome panel organizers to submit their completed panels on behalf of all panel members on the webform. please include an additional title and abstract for the panel.
