NOTE<\/strong>: Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the ICBMS pre-conference workshop has been rescheduled to 24-26 October 2020. Other new dates and schedule are as follows:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pre-conference workshop is open to faculty and graduate students from universities in Myanmar whose abstracts are submitted for the 3rd International Conference on Burma\/Myanmar Studies (ICBMS3) through the general call for papers. The 3-day pre-conference workshop targets early career\/junior university faculty, researchers and graduate students who otherwise have limited exposure to international conferences. It aims to engage them in the process of writing quality academic papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approximately 50 \u2013 60 abstracts from the general of call for papers will be selected by the screening committee to present the paper at the pre-conference workshop. Those who present their paper at the pre-conference workshop with a paper meeting the requisite criteria will be encouraged to present the paper at the ICBMS3 in October 2020<\/s> March 2021 in Chiang Mai, Thailand with a limited travel grant provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To facilitate this process, we have put in place a separate timeframe for abstract and paper submission for this group of potential contributors. This time frame will enable our team of mentors to hold a preconference workshop and provide ongoing support, prior to the paper presentation at the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Process for working with mentors<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Prior the pre-conference workshop, the mentors will spend around two weeks to read the papers and give feedback at the pre-conference workshop. They will also work with the paper presenters individually after the presentation to help the presenters improve the paper\u2019s structure and coherence of argument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
