Researcher Dr. Elizabeth Rhoads was recently interviewed in Nature about her work with Myanmar students and educational providers in displacement.

The Pilot Capstone Project led by Lund University and housed at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies is an international consortium including University of Toronto, Northern Illinois University, University of Montana, and Palacky University in collaboration with a Burmese interim (non-military) university council and non-profit educational organization Virtual Federal University to provide higher education opportunities to Myanmar undergraduate students impacted by conflict and displacement. The program was featured in Nature alongside programs in Ukraine and Sudan providing education and support to students and faculty impacted by war.
