Jordt’s Expertise on Burma Continues to Draw Media Attention
May 29, 2008

Ingrid Jordt, the author of Burma’s Mass Lay Meditation Movement, (Nov. 2007) continues to be tapped by national media outlets for nuanced information about Burma. Last fall it was the uprising by monks against the repressive government that led The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and WBAI Radio to seek Jordt’s insights. This spring, in the days and weeks after the devastating Cyclone Nargis struck Myanmar, Jordt has been interviewed again in the Chronicle, on WISN-TV in Milwaukee, and in a religion story picked up by The Washington Post and USA Today.
