Adolescent girls’ experiences of online gender-based violence
Theorising violence in mobility
In this article, I examine violence as constitutive of mobility for the feminine diasporic subject through an examination of women migrant workers from Nepal. I frame this project with two distinct theoretical approaches to understanding violence. First, I draw upon Catharine MacKinnon's provocative question 'Are women human?' to elucidate points of disjuncture between individual women migrants and state policy that dehumanises them. Second, I ad…
Kathmandu's Street Art
This article explores how gendered vulnerability is represented in Nepali street art. It focuses on three different public mural initiatives in Kathmandu that address women’s vulnerability to discrimination and violence and the need for greater awareness through different visual strategies. We argue that these initiatives are illustrative of the questions that art raises about how feminism can be mediated in different popular visual art forms. Sp…
In This Profession We Eat Dust
This article considers the working lives of women who drive electric rickshaws, known as tempos, in Kathmandu, Nepal. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, the author examines drivers' precarious working conditions and the strategies they use in an effort to secure better conditions and job security. This case study illuminates the particulars of women tempo drivers' day-to-day experiences and also speaks to larger debates in feminist political econ…
Disposability and gendered control in labor migration
In this article, I draw upon interviews with 30 Nepali returned women migrant workers to elucidate how the gendered institutional logics of both the Nepali state and for-profit manpower companies synergistically function to constrain women’s mobility. In particular, I focus on women migrant workers who migrate illegally to Gulf countries to work as domestic laborers, as this constitutes one of the largest channels of women’s labor migration from …
Shoma Hamal Gurung. Nepali Migrant Women
“My Honor Will Be Erased”
Urbanization, the expansion of capitalist markets, and the rapid democratization of the political sphere have precipitated enormous shifts in Nepal’s social organization, including how women from diverse caste and ethnic backgrounds participate in the newly monetized economy as laborers and consumers. Young working-class Nepali women have unprecedented access to disposable income. With their wages, they enjoy expanded purchasing power and, throug…
Citizenship in the Name of the Mother
In 2006, the Nepali government made it feasible for women to pass citizenship onto their children. In 2015, a new constitution overrode these gains and again made it impossible to grant citizenship through the maternal line alone. Nepal's current gender-discriminatory citizenship laws are rooted in historical social and geopolitical tensions with India, especially nationalistic fears about Indian encroachment into Nepali territory and politics. T…
Gendered Narratives of Mobility
In the last 30 years women have been making significant inroads into Nepal's public sphere, troubling long-held normative assumptions about women's place in modern Nepal. In this article I examine the discursive strategies that working-class Nepali women employ to justify and legitimate their presence in Nepal's urban public spaces and simultaneously claim an identity as a modern Nepali woman. Drawing on an ethnographic case study of one group of…
Protection and Paternalism
This article considers the current age and gender discriminatory migration laws in Nepal in their historical and socio-cultural context. Drawing on eight months of field- work and data collected from both migrants and migration policymakers I ask, What are the consequences of discriminatory laws on young Nepali women’s migration experiences? And why do gender and age discriminatory laws and policies persist in light of evidence that they may actu…
Landscaping Otherness
The expansion of tourist economies in South Asia makes it increasingly necessary to address how tourism functions as part of a system of transnational capitalism predicated on differential access to social, political, and economic power, and how this is evidenced in the representations of social difference that proliferate in tourism media. Tourism often takes the form of explicitly experiencing an "other" through display of visual and embodied d…
