Deuda Folklore & Social Transformation in Nepal  

3rd October 2023

In September, the commissioned project team embarked on a productive follow-up visit to Kathmandu and Dhangadhi in Nepal. During this trip, they engaged in insightful interviews with a wide array of individuals, from scholars and artists to community influencers and Deuda folklore performers. These discussions delved into the intricate dynamics of gender, power, caste, and transformations within the context of Deuda and culture. The team is now compiling their field study findings, which will soon be transformed into a compelling journal paper and an enlightening book chapter. Stay tuned for more exciting developments!
