LuceSEA – Understanding the Present, Preparing New Beginnings: Co-producing Knowledge on Inclusivity in Burma

To create a vibrant space for exchange among students, scholars and civil society from Myanmar and beyond, to promote the coproduction of knowledge on ethnic inclusivity, to develop pathways towards a future inclusive society in Myanmar, the project aims to establish a Center for an Inclusive Burma (CIB) at RCSD, Faculty of Social Sciences, Chiang Mai University. Focusing on political power sharing, resource governance, and education, the center provides a dynamic space for exchange among students, researchers, and CSOs, to strengthen the capacity of ethnic researchers and education providers through training and mentoring, and to facilitate knowledge co-production among diverse ethnic groups. In this way, it seeks to contribute to bridge ethnic divides, promote understanding, and link education and knowledge production to pathways for peace in Myanmar.
