These include countles s Southeast Asians fleeing persecution, such as the Rohingya or Karen from Myanmar, as well as economic migrants, including Indonesians seeking employ ment in Malaysia. As within the wider world, migration has generated palpab le – if exaggerated – political anxiety. Many migrants in Southeast Asia ha ve few rights and suffer from state-sanctioned harassment, marginalisation, and economic disenfranchisement. But belonging is more than a matter of le gality and citizenship; it denotes a series of aesthetic judgements, and st rategies to navigate and survive in one’s environment. Moreover, charities, humanitarian volunteers, and religious organisations frequently support di splaced people either financially or with basic social services. These crea te new social bonds that alter notions of citizenship and belonging. This p anel will bring together a range of studies that explore the liminality of migrant experiences in contemporary Southeast Asia in order to ask how migr ant communities reconfigure categories of invisibility and legal exclusion, and what this may tell us about belonging on the ‘margins’. Researchers fr om or located within Southeast Asia are particularly welcome to participate in this panel. The panel will serve to prepare a special issue on the same topic.
