  • Participation of Myanmar Females in Science and Arts : Gender Impact of Science and Arts at University of Yangon
    Participation of Myanmar Females in Science and Arts : Gender Impact of Science and Arts at University of Yangon Dr Mya Kay Thi Aung Lecturer Department of Chemistry, University of Yangon, Yangon, Myanmar (27-8-2015) Participation of Myanmar Females in Science and Arts : Gender Impact of Science and Arts at University of Yangon ABSTRACT Once ago, especially in education, Myanmar females have been kept at home for looking after younger siblings and older people so most of Myanmar females in the previous time were illiterate. However, at present, they have better opportunities of enrollment in education. In this present study of education in Myanmar, compared to the ratio of Myanmar population, more women than men, are found in most of the educational sectors as not only the learners of higher education, but also as the outstanding scientists as well as professionals. The main targeted groups of concern in gender analysis are both science and arts of teaching staff as well as researchers and outstanding undergraduate students in University of Yangon, Yangon, Myanmar between 2013 and 2015. Resembling the dominance of women in our country’s population, the female educators in our university also outweigh these of males in almost all of the sectors even though most of the top administrators are men. All in all, most of the males in the majority of the professional institutes have much better opportunities in enrolling these institutes or universities. Thus, males have better opportunities regarding with their matriculation marks for university

Annika Pohl Harrisson has a PhD from the Department of Anthropology at Aarhus University. She has conducted ethnographic research in Thailand and Myanmar. Annika is particularly interested in the localized production of legitimacy, everyday justice provision, and state-society relations. Her doctoral research investigates how different forms of state- making in southeast Myanmar affect the way in which sociality and subjectivities are constituted in everyday life. Her publications include (with Helene Maria Kyed) ‘Ceasefire state- making and justice provision by ethnic armed groups in southeast Myanmar’ (published in Sojourn 2019) and ‘Fish caught in clear water: Encompassed state-making in southeast Myanmar’ (published in Territory, Politics, Governance 2020).
