Abstract:
IntroductionAlthough women’s health is prioritised in global research, few studies have identified structural barriers and strategies to promote female leadership and gender equality in the global health research workforce, especially in low-income and middle-income countries.MethodsWe conducted a mixed-methods study to evaluate gender equality in the mental health research workforce in Nepal. The scoping review assessed gender disparities in authorship of journal publications for Nepal mental health research, using databases (PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, NepJol, NepMed) for 5 years. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 22 Nepali researchers to identify structural barriers limiting women’s leadership.ResultsOf 337 articles identified, 61% were by Nepali first authors. Among Nepali first authors, 38.3% were women. Nepali women had half the odds of being first authors compared with men, when referenced against non-Nepali authors (OR 0.50, 95% CI 1.30 to 3.16). When limiting publications to those based on funded research, the odds were worse for first authorship among Nepali women (OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.71). The qualitative analysis supported the scoping review and identified a lack of gender-friendly organisational policies, difficulties in communication and mobility, and limited opportunities for networking as barriers to women’s leadership in global health research.ConclusionEfforts are needed for greater representation of Nepali women in global mental health research, which will require transformative organisational policies to foster female leadership. Those in leadership need to recognise gender inequalities and take necessary steps to address them. Funding agencies should prioritise supporting organisations with gender equality task forces, policies and indicators.

Abstract:
This exploratory study deals with the depiction of causes, effects and consequences of cultural differences between the Nepali transnational migrants in West Asia and the citizens of the nations in this locale as seen in the literary creations of Nepali migrant writers. About a million Nepali migrants work in the Middle East. In the three decades of this migration, they have undergone many experiences of awe and shock caused by their cultural differences with the host land societies. Mainly caused by the differences in terms of religion, social management and law, the Nepali migrants feel difficult to adjust in the respective societies and they bear the consequent discomforts. These experiences have been the base of the Nepali literary creations in that transnational locale. The authors have expressed these realities in their poems, novels, stories, essays and memoirs. This article shows how these writings have portrayed the impact of closed Islamic society unlike the open society in Nepal; occupation based social hierarchy unlike the caste based one in Nepal; differences in culinary items and chance of personal freedom; distance between male and female; the traditional concept about the housemaids and workers; and other socio-cultural discriminations on the migrants in West Asia. The texts under analysis show that whatever is the social background back in Nepal, all Nepali migrants have the same culture, i.e. Nepali; and so they try to save it for their solace in the hostland.

Abstract:
A key challenge still exists for emancipation of women in the tourism industry in Nepal. The research addresses how females in Nepal transform themselves through engagement with trekking in remote areas. The authors investigated a female only tourism enterprise to determine how women can encounter avenues to reliable income support. Interviewees were members of Empowering Women Nepal (EWN), a Nepali Non-Government Organisation (NGO), and their interviews were used as a case study regarding women’s training. Open ended questions focused on the background of women who are likely to engage with tourism, barriers preventing engagement in tourism, the positive and negative side to tourism, avenues of support, and specific outcomes to date. The research found that rural and remote Nepali women are being emancipated via engagement with tourism.

Abstract:
This article examines the popular as well as controversial work Fatalism and Development: Nepal’s Struggle for Modernization (1991) by anthropologist Dor Bahadur Bista. The authors historically chart out and evaluate the writing trajectory of Bista. The paper focuses on Bista’s consistent pitching for fatalism to be the root cause of underdevelopment in Nepali society starting with his writings in the 1960s, even though he may be using different terms to refer to the process. He pointed out certain groups close to the power structures including priestly Brahamins to be responsible for the underdevelopment and fatalism. His iconoclastic stance on the value system revolving around the power centers found many takers in the changed context of Nepal after 1990. This was furthered by his silence on the similar acts of other cultural groups.Dhaulagiri Journal of Sociology and Anthropology Vol.11, 201; 130-150

Full text
Abstract:
The under-representation of Dalits in Nepali-language literature until the late 20th century— both as the subjects of texts and the authors of texts—is very striking, and a category of Nepali-language writing labelled dalit sahitya only began to emerge after 1990. This paper report draws upon research on this issue conducted in 2021-22. First, it introduces a selection of Nepali-language texts produced by non-Dalits in which Dalit characters and Dalit-related issues have been portrayed. Most of these were published before Dalits began to author such texts themselves; a few are of more recent origin. It then offers a preliminary thematic summary of the Dalit-authored literature that has appeared in more recent years, and a summary of the debate that has arisen about the definition of dalit sahitya and the authoritative representation of Dalit issues in Nepali-language literature.

Abstract:
In late December 1991 and January 1992 the authors surveyed tourist shops selling fur and other animal products in Kathmandu, Nepal. Comparing the results with a study conducted 3 years earlier showed that the number of shops had increased, but indirect evidence suggested that the demand for their products may have decreased. There was still substantial trade in furs, most of which appeared to have come from India, including furs from species that are protected in India and Nepal. While both Nepali and Indian conservation legislation are adequate to control the illegal wildlife trade, there are problems in implementation: co-ordination between the two countries, as well as greater law enforcement within each country, are needed

Bhattarai, Keshav, and Ambika P. Adhikari. "Promoting Urban Farming for Creating Sustainable Cities in Nepal." Urban Science 7, no. 2 (2023): 54. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/urbansci7020054.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper responds to the research question, “can urban farming in Nepal help create sustainable cities?” Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, urban residents have begun to realize that food transported from long distances is not always reliable. Urban farming can help produce fresh food locally and help urban residents become self-reliant by engaging in healthy eating habits and practicing sustainable agricultural techniques in food-desert areas, while creating a positive impact on the environment through regenerative agricultural methods. In doing so, urban farms can help the growers save on food expenditures and even earn some additional income, while also improving air quality and minimizing the effects of urban heat islands. This practice also helps reduce greenhouse gases through plant carbon use efficiency (CUE), as vegetation carbon dynamics (VCD) can be adjusted while supporting the circular economy. As urban lands command higher prices than agricultural land, urban farming usually happens on residential yards, roofs, balconies, community gardens, and dedicated areas in public parks. Rainwater harvesting and redirecting can help irrigate urban farms, which can be part of rain gardens. The national census of 2021 identified that 66% of Nepal’s population lives in urban areas. However, the World Bank (2018) showed that only 21 of Nepal’s population was projected to live in urban areas in 2021. It is not debatable that the urbanization process in Nepal is on the rise. Thus, urban agriculture can play an important role in supplementing residents’ food needs. Many cities in Nepal have already successfully adapted to urban farming wherein residents grow food on their building sites, balconies, and rooftop, often growing plants in pots, vases, and other types of containers. The UN-Habitat, with the support of the European Union and local agencies, published a rooftop farming training manual (2014), showing the feasibility of urban farming in Nepal. This paper discusses how public-private partnership (PPP) can promote urban agriculture and make the process more effective and attractive to urban-farming households. It also analyzes how a PPP approach also facilitates the use of better technology, advisory support, and use of research extension activities. This paper draws on a literature review, uses remote-sensing imagery data and data from National Census Nepal 2021, and the authors’ professional experiences related to best practices in the areas to analyze the benefits and challenges related to urban farming both in Nepal and Arizona, USA. The paper provides recommendations for Nepali cities to maximize the benefit provided by urban farming. It is expected to be useful to Nepali policymakers, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations which promote sustainability, and organic farming with a sustainable supply chain.

Abstract:
Abstract The article explores the potential of theatre art in transitional justice, particularly in the field of reconciliation and healing. Presenting the context of reconciliation in Nepal 10 years after the end of the armed conflict, the authors argue for complementary processes of top-down and community-based, bottom-up approaches by introducing the concept of ‘theatre-facilitated dialogue’ as a way to strategically integrate Playback Theatre in peacebuilding. Analyzing the project ‘EnActing Dialogue,’ the article elaborates on the learnings from theatre-facilitated dialogue work in communities where ex-combatants of the Nepali People’s Liberation Army have settled. Based on the theoretical overview of secondary resources, the authors’ participatory observations, on informal interviews and quantitative data, the study explores how artistically enacted storytelling supports bottom-up reconciliation. By staging a noncognitive dialogue through storytelling, music and theatre, Playback Theatre contributes to the deconstruction of war-related identities, an understanding of root causes, as well as personal healing and relationship building at community level.

Abstract:
This paper attempts to unfold Nepal's forestry sector discourses from the perspectives of the presence and contribution of indigenous peoples in forestry sector public discourses. The paper deals with five dimensions of indigenous peoples as part of public discourses. They include: (a) policies and legislations;(b) physical presence in the forestry sector government institutions; (c) number of publications; (d) number of authors; and (e) presence in the public events. The qualitative information, derived from the participation and observation of the public events, is complemented by quantitative information compiled from the relevant reports and publications. I found that participation and contribution of indigenous peoples in Nepal's forestry sectors pubic discourses is relatively less. I argue that inadequacy of Nepal's forestry sector policies and practices is a replication of the overall situation of Nepali society that has fostered the exclusion of indigenous peoples.

Abstract:
Abstract Tellier et al. take stock of menstrual health management in humanitarian settings, seeking to shed light on the goals, key components, and coordination efforts to address menstruation needs under duress. The authors are volunteers or staff with WoMena, an NGO that works to improve menstrual health and management in Uganda. Based on this experience and focusing on Uganda and Nepal, this practice note probes how the issue is approached in different contexts and at different stages—comparing urgent response after a sudden onset disaster (for example, earthquakes) to protracted crises (for example, long-term refugee settings). The authors discuss how interventions can be made sustainable beyond the short-term ‘kit culture’ response; they highlight experiences with more developmental approaches involving policy support, community participation, capacity building, and the use of products that are economically and environmentally sustainable.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, we explore the politics of music teacher reflexivity that emerged in a transnational collaboration between two institutions, the Nepal Music Center (NMC) and the Sibelius Academy, University of the Arts Helsinki when co-developing intercultural music teacher education. We examine in particular the reflexivity in this intercultural dialogue and how the collaboration became a complex field of issues of power related to social positions and epistemologies. Such reflexivity may act as an invitation to discomfort but at the same time as an invitation to deep professional learning. The empirical material was generated in the flow of activities within teachers’ pedagogical studies organized by the Sibelius Academy for the NMC teachers in Nepal. The authors’ experiences and the omnipresent colonial setting were taken as a backdrop of the overall interpretation and discussion. We argue that in an intercultural dialogue, negotiating one’s premises, stance, and the ethical relations with the Other requires reflection on one’s existential groundings. However, professional learning in intercultural dialogue is prone to persistent paradoxes that cannot be swiped away, or even solved. The politics of reflexivity thus keeps the questions open, with no final answers or ultimate solutions.

Equal opportunity for the continuous professional development of female teachers seems insufficient in the schools of Nepal. This chapter explores the gender-equitable strategies to support female teachers for their professional development. This chapter is based on the authors' lived experiences while facilitating the continuous professional development of school teachers in Nepal. Adapting a socio-cultural perspective of gender and engaging in a co-generative inquiry, the authors make a series of reflections on when/where they encountered gender issues and how they addressed them. This chapter is about how the fluid gender roles of the authors contribute to developing context-responsive gender-equitable strategies for supporting female teachers' professional development.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines rural road development in Nepal to understand how the purported benefits of new transport mobilities in fact reinforce longstanding social hierarchies, create conditions for the consolidation of centralized elite power and capital accumulation, and reproduce terms of marginality and precarity for vulnerable populations in highland Nepal. The authors posit that road development in Nepal functions as a ‘liberal mode of governance’ (Duffield 2008) whereby both private and public actors territorialize national space and articulate a new but still uneven future for Nepal. More broadly, this chapter aims to illuminate how non-state actors working in peripheral and rural regions – such as transport syndicates and development contractors in Nepal – help to materialize the capitalist and bureaucratic objectives of central state authorities through liberal practices of infrastructure development.

Full text
Abstract:
In this chapter, the author discusses how translanguaging pedagogy serves as a socially just pedagogy to teach English as a compulsory subject and to implement English as a medium of instruction (EMI) in Nepal, like other multilingual countries. To substantiate this argument, drawing ideas from several seminal theoretical works and reviewing some empirical studies on translanguaging, the author first presents his own experience of learning and teaching English in his home country, Nepal. Then, presenting a brief sociolinguistic milieu and some relevant educational studies of Nepal, the author discusses translanguaging and social justice, incorporating ideas from recent disciplinary literature. Lastly, he argues translanguaging pedagogy as a socially just pedagogy, for it maintains the linguistic identities of students, enhances students' participation in the classroom, makes sense of content, and fosters students' literacy.

Abstract:
The author plays with bioethics of displacement as a means of addressing modern society's caste systems through civil disobedience. Using the Nepali case as an initial example, the author exposes the atrocities that arise from social structure and the dual global pyramids perpetuating inequality. On the other hand, the author emphasises the need for patient rebels to create a sense of belonging and draw attention to injustices. In a global context, both injustices and threats require a global response, and individuals have the moral agency to rebel against injustice. For this to happen, rebellion must ground on moral legitimacy rather than opportunism. Otherwise, whatever is gotten won't bring a more just society.

Abstract:
The first author conducted participatory action research (PAR) with schoolteachers to design STEAM-based pedagogical approaches in two of the schools in a rural part of Nepal. This study's initial objective was to investigate innovative pedagogy contributing to improved teacher and student performance. The authors collaborated with schoolteachers and to develop integrated projects for students. The entire endeavor went on for three cycles and took approximately three years on the research site to complete. The fieldwork was initiated prior to COVID-19, in February 2019, and proceeded throughout COVID-19 and beyond. In the first cycle, inquiry-based approaches were used, in the second cycle, integrated projects were developed and implemented, and in the third cycle, the STEAM approach was initiated through several real-world projects (such as save the species). This book chapter discusses how the authors devised and implemented the ‘Save the Species' project in the third cycle with a short synopsis of the first and second cycles.

Full text
Abstract:
Who are you? Where are you from? How did you end up in Malaysia? These are the common questions that the Nepalese community here in Malaysia has had to respond to many a time. We cannot blame the naïve attitudes that our Malaysians possess but it is a matter of regret that most Malaysians from other ethnic groups are not aware of the Nepalese community here, simply because there has been no exposure to their presence. The intangible heritage of one’s ethnicity and culture play a crucial role in pointing out one’s origin, identity and existence. In the context of tourism, it is essential to sustain this minority group as it may arouse the interest of the Nepalese not only in their motherland but also around the globe. Tourists will be interested to learn about how the Nepali diaspora is able to preserve their unique traditions despite the influence of urbanisation and other culturalisations. The authors would apply the functionalist approach to discuss how the intangible tourism not only benefits the nation’s economy but also functions to prevent the extinction of the Malaysian Nepalese customs. The research questions that are posed for this paper are as follows i) How do the Nepalese Malaysians sustain their intangible heritage? ii) What measures are this minority group taking to safeguard their tradition? and iii) In what way will the preservation be able to benefit the country and themselves? In-depth interviews with 15 informants will be conducted along with consensual audio-recording. Transcriptions of the interviews will analyse the thematic patterns coupled with peer checking to reduce bias for the data to be credible and trustworthy. The outcome of this research will be presented.

This brief synthesizes findings of a case study of Bharatpur, Nepal, that examined ways to increase the coherence of urban planning, public services, and disaster-risk reduction measures, and, at the same time, integrate the needs of the most vulnerable groups. Based on this assessment, the authors recommend five policy changes. 1) Increase policy coherence and institutional coordination across levels and sectors of government. 2) Pay attention to the different impacts hazards have on different groups; 3) Develop capacity and allocate resources to help local government address risks for different groups. 4) Customize policies to address needs, particularly in peri-urban and rural areas engulfed by rapid urban growth. 5) Use community-engagement approaches to include and address issues raised by residents of marginalized communities.

In many settings, people with disabilities face multiple and complex layers of environmental, societal and structural barriers. These barriers can lead to them being disproportionately harmed, neglected and excluded during humanitarian and other emergency responses.1–3 This is especially evident in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Nepal and other South and Southeast Asian nations.4 Limited awareness of the needs of people with disabilities, entrenched social stigma, and inaccessible infrastructure can exacerbate the challenges they face in emergency situations. In addition, there has been little preparation and planning to make disaster and emergency planning disability inclusive.3,5,6 This brief explores disability in the context of humanitarian and public health emergencies in South and Southeast Asia. Its focus is on Nepal, but the principles are universally relevant and can be adapted for any context. It is intended for stakeholders in government, civil society and the humanitarian sector. It aims to support stakeholders to better understand how structural inequities, alongside social and cultural norms and practices, exacerbate the marginalisation and exclusion of people with disabilities in emergencies. This brief presents examples of good practice for disability-responsive humanitarian and emergency planning and intervention. It also provides key considerations for actors aiming to support greater inclusion of people with disabilities in response. This brief draws on evidence from academic and grey literature, and from open-source datasets. It was authored by Obindra Chand (HERD International, University of Essex), Katie Moore (Anthrologica) and Stephen Thompson (Institute of Development Studies (IDS)), supported by Tabitha Hrynick (IDS). This brief is the responsibility of SSHAP.
