Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

This has caused much anxiety among those who have fled atrocities and persecution in their home countries. Many fear what they will find upon their return, others have never known a life other than that of a refugee in exile. For them, there is no home country.
In recent days the party led by Aung Sang Suu Kyi, who has always championed ethnic rights and democratic rule, has won Myanmar's parliamentary election. Hopefully soon, Myanmar will become a home to so many of the people living in the refugee camps of the Burmese-Thailand border. It remains to be seen how people, once repatriated, will fare given their limited educational opportunities and a lifetime lived in the restricted environment of the camps.
