SUMMARY:(P23) Digital Media, Democracy, and Exclusion in Myanmar
LOCATION:K10 | 2.40
DESCRIPTION:Myanmar has become an archetypal case in the global debate over
  the emancipatory possibilities and repressive practices of digital connect
 ion. Social media both reflected and shaped Myanmar’s contested democratic 
 transition: internet access increased astronomically in the wake of telecom
 s privatization in 2014 and Facebook has become a key platform for politics
 , information and hate speech. In the wake of the 2021 military coup, the i
 nternet has become a key domain for democratic mobilization, as well as aut
 horitarian censorship and surveillance. This panel brings together scholars
  and scholar-activists working on the urgent topic of social media in Myanm
 ar. We prioritize grounded perspectives that embed analysis of online pract
 ices in Myanmar’s longer political and cultural histories.
