Rohingya Futures project overview
Rohingya Futures is the working title of Dr Ronan Lee’s Leverhulme Trust Fellowship project “Surviving Genocide: Rohingya Refugees’ Priorities for a Post-Genocide Future“.
Myanmar’s Rohingya are the world’s largest stateless community. Following decades of genocidal abuses within Myanmar, a brutally violent forced deportation to Bangladesh, means most Rohingya live in the world’s largest refugee camp complex. The prospects this genocidal campaign will be terminal for the Rohingya rests largely on whether they can rebuild their society, reasserting their community’s unique characteristics, history, and values. Using research techniques including in-depth interviews, focus groups, surveys, discourse analysis and observation to map Rohingya attitudes towards education, marriage, work, language, justice, religion, migration/repatriation and politics, this project will contribute to post-genocide scholarship and the Rohingya’s post-genocide future.
