East Asia Program Presents:
From Pariah to Poster Child: Musings on Burma/Myanmar

After decades of authoritarian military rule, Burma—also known as Myanmar—adopted a series of reforms starting in 2011. Recognizing these changes, the U.S. and other countries have eased their sanctions. What explains the reforms, how deep are they, and what problems remain?

Maureen Aung-Thwin directs the Burma Project/Southeast Asia Initiative at the Open Society Foundations in New York. She serves on the Asia Advisory Board of Human Rights Watch and is a trustee of the Burma Studies Foundation. Born in Burma but blacklisted for nineteen years, she has been able to return during the past two years.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
