The book launch of Putting Women Up: Gender Equality and Politics in Myanmar was hosted by the Ottawa Dialogue last May 23, 2024 at the University of Ottawa.
Co-editor and author Dr. Netina Tan (University Scholar and Associate Professor at McMaster University) introduced the book and provided an overview of the research questions they sought to answer about gender and political participation in Myanmar, the training and methodologies employed by the researchers, and their key findings.
Other contributing authors also presented the findings of their studies: Aye Lei Tun (IDRC Fellow and PhD candidate at McMaster University) on “Candidate Selection and Women’s Political Participation;” Elin Bjarnegård (Professor at Uppsala University) on “Violence, Gender, and Politics;” Cassandra Preece (PhD candidate at McMaster University) on “Ethnic Parties, Representation, and Female Candidate Recruitment in Myanmar” and “Navigating Local Politics and Gender.”
