Join us for a book launch and dialogue with Senior Researcher Andrew M. Jefferson (DIGNITY--Danish Institute Against Torture) on his book Everyday Prison Governance in Myanmar. The book analyses the organisation and regulation of prison life during a short-lived period of democratic transition. The accounts of former prisoners reveal the realities of everyday life illuminating survival strategies, landscapes of emotion, and power dynamics. Making a significantly different kind of contribution, this is the first in depth, empirically based, systematic study of imprisonment practices in Myanmar between 2015-2020, a period believed by many at the time to herald a new democratic dawn for Myanmar - an illusion which was shattered by the military coup of February 2021. Among other things the book explains how the criminal justice system could so quickly become an overt tool of repression under the new military regime. This discussion will be chaired by Professor Lutz Oette (SOAS), with Dr. Michelle Staggs Kelsall (SOAS) as the discussant.
