Violence, Religion and Well-being in Contemporary Burma (Myanmar): A Medical Anthropological Study of Everyday Life Under Dictatorship. 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.

当代缅甸的暴力、宗教和福祉：独裁统治下日常生活的医学人类学研究。40年来，缅甸一直被军事独裁统治，践踏人权的事件每天都在发生。恐怖和政治暴力被用作镇压的工具。一项深入的民族志研究将对情绪/心理困扰与缅甸日常生活中普遍存在的暴力和恐惧之间的关系进行研究。该项目将检验宗教在调节恐惧反应中起重要作用的假设。在这个独裁统治下的日常生活，或者为减轻恐惧而制定的生存策略，还没有进行过其他研究。成果将包括经审定的文章、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。
