 Part of a longer on-going research project at the Carr Center
exploring the way that social movements operate, the Burma Activism Survey Project seeks to understand the
goals, values, and desires of ‘transnational’ Burma activists (both
Burmese and non-Burmese).
We are interested in analyzing the way the
movement has grown and how it has functioned: exploring the
successes that the Free Burma movement has achieved; the
challenges it has faced – and how it has responded to them; and
how activists conceive of and utilize human rights, democracy, and other
language in making appeals to both politicians and the public.
We are using a broad definition of ‘activist’ for this study: those
who consider themselves, are considered, or at one point
considered themselves Burma activists or, if not activists per se, those
who are otherwise involved in Burma issues and affairs.
 The survey will be online, available in English or
Burmese, and will be fully voluntary, confidential, and anonymous. It will take between 30
and 60 minutes, and one can skip any questions that one does not want to answer. If you are
willing to take part in the survey and share your experiences, and/or would like more information
on the project, please contact the Lead Researcher Elliott Prasse-Freeman at
prasse@post.harvard.edu or
call +1-617-496-4548. We will then contact you when the survey has
been finalized (it is still being developed and tested).*
