Description

To celebrate Tea Circle’s 2022 relaunch, we look back at some of our most popular posts and ask our authors to reflect on their submissions in conversation with colleagues. This event will also includes an introduction to the new website and our expanded activities. The panel features author Jangai Jap, reflecting on her 2020 post, “Understanding Recent Survey Data on Kachin’s Heterogeneous Attitudes Toward Myanmar,” with discussant David Thang Moe.
