Tues. 10/7, 4:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Lown 2


Although Burma has some of the longest-running internal conflicts in modern history, one often overlooked aspect is the role of popular culture within these struggles. Based on over two years' ethnographic fieldwork, Jane Ferguson will examine the ways in which a key genre of Burmese music is re-signified by politicized musicians at the Thai-Burma border.
