Tea Circle presents “Social research and the Internet in post-coup Myanmar”

This discussion reflected on the possibilities of doing research in a hostile political environment through presentations of two recent studies funded by the International Development Research Centre’s Knowledge For Democracy Myanmar project. The studies document people’s attitudes towards the evolving political situation in Myanmar online and consider how youth navigate digital culture in Myanmar today, how they are redefining freedom of expression in the process, and their mixed feelings towards the Internet as a tool for resistance.
