Judith Beyer

Judith Beyer, a social and political anthropology professor at the University of Konstanz, dives deep into the identities of Muslims and Hindus in urban Yangon. She introduces her concept of 'we-formation,' illustrating how communities connect beyond ethno-religious lines. Beyer discusses the historical context of these identities, their complex interplay, and how these dynamics are shaping the response to the ongoing Myanmar Spring Revolution. Her insights also shed light on the resilience of the Rohingya and broader themes of statelessness.
