Non State Education Ethnic Conflict

项目摘要

This network aims to bring together London-based scholars working on education, knowledge and ethnonational conflict with education researchers and practitioners in Myanmar. Its main aim is to analyse the role of non-state education in Myanmar's competing nation-building projects and ethnic conflict. In doing so to it aims to a) generate academic and policy-relevant knowledge on the extensive landscape of non-state ethnic minority-based education regimes in Myanmar's conflict zones, to b) aid capacity building of education practitioners and researchers in Myanmar's ethnic minority communities, and to c) to inform the country's education reform, including international donors engaged in the reform process. This is important as education has long served as a main vehicle for Myanmar's violent nation-building, including the forced assimilation of its ethnic minorities. At the same time, competing non-state education regimes have emerged as one of the means of resistance amongst the numerous revolutionary movements recruited from ethnic minorities. In order to analyse the politics of these non-state education regimes the network will use participatory research methods, including auto-ethnographic approaches that draw on the extensive experience of its local participants: education researchers who are themselves involved in non-state education provision. This will help to address the main paradoxes that ethnic-minority education providers are confronted with: 1) the tension between their aspiration to modernity and their need to create and preserve identities, ancestry and heritage and 2) the tension between resistance against an ethnocratic state oppression and the need to homogenise and solidify fluid and diverse ethnic minority identities into salient ethnic categories under the banner of an alternative nationalism.The network aims to address these challenges in three workshops (two in Myanmar and one in London). The workshops will provide the platform to connect the network, generate empirical and conceptual knowledge about non-state education in Myanmar, provide a platform for knowledge and experience sharing between participants, and inform Myanmar's education reform and international donors by incorporating seminars for a policy audience. The network will also disseminate its findings through academic, media and policy publications.

这个网络的目的是把在伦敦从事教育、知识和民族冲突研究的学者与缅甸的教育研究人员和实践者聚集在一起。其主要目的是分析非国有教育在缅甸相互竞争的国家建设项目和种族冲突中的作用。通过这样做，它的目标是：a)产生关于缅甸冲突地区非国家少数民族教育制度的广泛景观的学术和政策相关知识；b)援助缅甸少数民族社区的教育从业者和研究人员的能力建设；c)为该国的教育改革提供信息，包括参与改革进程的国际捐助者。这一点很重要，因为教育长期以来一直是缅甸暴力国家建设的主要手段，包括强制同化少数民族。与此同时，竞争的非国家教育制度已经成为众多少数民族革命运动中抵抗的手段之一。为了分析这些非国家教育制度的政治，该网络将使用参与式研究方法，包括利用当地参与者的丰富经验的自动人种学方法：参与非国家教育提供的教育研究人员。这将有助于解决少数民族教育提供者面临的主要矛盾：1)他们对现代性的渴望与他们创造和保存身份、祖先和遗产的需要之间的紧张关系；2)反对民族国家压迫与在另一种民族主义的旗帜下将流动和多样化的少数民族身份同质化和固化为突出的种族类别的需要之间的紧张关系。该网络旨在通过三个讲习班（两个在缅甸，一个在伦敦）解决这些挑战。讲习班将提供一个平台，以连接网络，产生有关缅甸非国家教育的经验和概念知识，为参与者之间的知识和经验分享提供一个平台，并通过为政策听众举办研讨会，为缅甸的教育改革和国际捐助者提供信息。该网络还将通过学术、媒体和政策出版物传播其调查结果。
