Abstract
Moving around Myanmar, Migration in, from and back to Burma is an edited volume published in the wake of the 3rd International Conference on Burma/Myanmar Studies, co-organized by Chiang Mai University in 2021. This conference was held (partly online) in particularly disturbed times: not only in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, but also only a month after the military coup of February 2021 in Myanmar. The nine chapters of this volume come from of a selection of contributions dealing with various aspects of migration in relation to Myanmar, and the authors of height of them are from Myanmar or its borderlands, most of them at least partly trained in the universities of Mandalay and Yangon, with several of them holding positions there. In this way, the volume is a strong testimony of the deep changes which occurred in Myanmar and its universities since 2011, and until the 2021 events. The four editors, Tony Waters, Ashley South, Chayan Vaddhanaphuti and Luke Corbin, are well-known and dedicated specialists of Myanmar and Thailand, with publications on a wide range of topics and an expertise
