This year, the SCA-UK organises two special lectures on Shan/Tai culture to mark the 2104th Shan/Tai New Year at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) University of London, London.

Key speakers include Dr Susan Conway, author of "The Shan" (2006) and a Research Associate at SOAS and Dr Kate Crosby, Senior lecturer at the Centre for Buddhist Studies, also SOAS, University of London.
