Nepali youth protesting in front of Nepal's parliament: give back our blood. What next for Nepal? How might Nepal come out of it, a good example to compare is Sri Lanka

[Sumana @SumanaShrestha]

सांसदको काम भनेको सरकारलाई जवाफदेहि बनाउने हो । तर सरकारले जवाफदेहिताको सिमाना पार गरिसक्यो । यो अवस्थामा नरसंहारकारी सरकारले दिने बिजनेश सम्हाल्ने काममा सिमित भएको संसदमा सदस्य भएर बस्न नैतिकताले दिएको छैन । यसैले सांसद पदबाट राजिनामा दिदैछु ।

साथै, जेनजीहरूले सर्वदलिय जस्ता भ्रममा नपरि आफ्नो नेतृत्व दाबी गर्नुहोस् । यहि दलहरूसँगै बसेर देशले निकास पाउँदैन ।

Bilateral partners like @UKinNepal that work w/ Nepal police must also take action on the violence.

Our kids' lives are not worth your training and governance programmes.

[Kanak Mani Dixit @KanakManiDixit]

It’s a carnage. According to media on the ground 10 demonstrators dead at this point. Police spokespersons are mute. Prime Minister Oli must immediately come on out to say whatever is necessary to end the killing.

Here is a summer school run by Kathmandu University' Nepal Centre for Contemporary Nepal Studies, check out the link: ttps://kusoa.edu.np/notice/registration-for-ku-nccs-summer-school/

AAS in Asia (Kathmandu) 2025 takes up the “critical and necessary task of Reframing Asia”.Just learned that registration fee to attend this conference is NPR 12,490 for Nepali students. @AASAsianStudies how out of touch must you be to imagine that a Nepali student can afford it.

As a part of his PhD, @samip_dhungel has designed a fun board game to understand sustainable consumption behavior for fashion. Had such an interesting time playing the game, at the Eco-hub, University of Glasgow today! #LilyInGlasgow #ecohub

[Dr. Pamela Cajilig @anthropam]

Those who need to pass board exams & attain licenses for their careers are the most resistant to the idea that the knowledge of people living in disaster injustice is as crucial as theirs, if not more. Latching on to credentials can be a huge barrier to respect & empathy in DRRM.

Congratulations @swswsiying

[Siying Wu @swswsiying]

It’s OUT! (and even better, open access)

Almost four years and two degrees since I started out this project as a sociology student wandering into human geography, it’s finally seeing the light of day!

A heartfelt thank you to my examiners, @KatieOven and @HejnowiczAP, for their thoughtful feedback and for making the viva process a positive and encouraging experience.

[Ashrika Sharma @AshrikaS]

I am very happy to share that I successfully defended my PhD thesis last week. My research focused on participatory practices in Disaster Risk Reduction in Nepal, a journey that has been both challenging and deeply rewarding.

[Ashrika Sharma @AshrikaS]

I couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of my supervisors @Kate_DRR, @sukanyakmurthy and
Maggie Creed my advisor Sam Staddon, who guided me every step of the way.

Trying out @samip_dhungel 's board game as a tool to understand sustainable fashion consumption behaviour, for his PhD. Thank you to our friends for being so generous with their time! #PhDthings #sustainablefashion #gamification

[Ashrika Sharma @AshrikaS]

All this while I thought my husband was not paying attention to my Ph.D. rants on what public participation in DRR really looks like in practice. I was wrong. He wrote this clever little poem. I think this just sums up my PhD. #DRR #Nepal #publicparticipation
