This has been to the exclusion of perspectives from borderlands, inc luding autonomous and semi-autonomous territories. In the wake of the coup, and the ongoing struggle for political legitimacy, the importance of these borderlands has come into sharper focus. This is as political activists fr om central Myanmar, as well as members of the National Unity Government, ha ve sought haven and military training in borderlands, which currently and h istorically have provided a space from which to oppose authoritarianism in Myanmar. These recent developments are in addition to decades-long struggle s for self-determination on the part of ethnic and Indigenous peoples situa ted in Myanmar’s borderlands.\n\nThese struggles are as pertinent today as ever, yet scholars working on the country’s diverse borderlands have rarely had opportunities to engage in extended conversations with one another. Th e coup has also exacerbated the need for Myanmar-focused scholars to find s afe spaces to engage with one another, given the threats that researchers a nd activists face within the country.\n\nThese laboratory format and free-f lowing discussion will allow the participants to identify cross-cutting the mes in their work that could form the basis of future collaborations. There will also be time designated for further discussion and planning about the structure of the Myanmar Borderlands Studies Collective. This builds upon groundwork laid for the formation of the collective during a workshop on My anmar Borderlands at the University of Copenhagen in Spring 2023, which Ter ese organized. The aim of the collective is to provide a collaborative spac e to center critical and de-colonial scholarship on Myanmar’s borderlands.
