For 40 years, Burma has been controlled by a military dictatorship with human rights abuses occurring daily. Terror and political violence are used as tools of repression. An in-depth ethnographic study will be conducted into the relationship between emotional/psychological distress and the violence and fear that pervades everyday Burmese life. The project will test the hypothesis that religion plays an important role in mediating responses to fear. No other study has been conducted of everday life under this dictatorship, or of survival strategies created to alleviate fear. Outcomes will include refereed articles, a major monograph on the subject and the development of a new methodology appropriate for aiding victims of terror and torture.

40年来，缅甸一直由军事独裁政权控制，每天都有侵犯人权的事件发生。恐怖和政治暴力被用作镇压的工具。将对缅甸人日常生活中的情绪/心理困扰与暴力和恐惧之间的关系进行深入的人种学研究。该项目将检验宗教在调节对恐惧的反应方面发挥重要作用的假设。没有其他研究进行日常生活在这个独裁统治下，或创建的生存策略，以减轻恐惧。其成果将包括参考文章、一本关于这一主题的重要专著以及制定一种适合于援助恐怖和酷刑受害者的新方法。
