Remapping trans-Himalayan studies in the digital domain during the Covid-19 pandemic: Constraint-based innovation, multimodality and the way of knowing
This article offers a critical reflection on the adaptive reconfiguration of my South Asian Studies-based PhD project into a multimodal and collaborative endeavour in response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Challenging the binary narrative that constraint-based methodological innovations are merely reactive measures to restore research projects to their pre-pandemic state, this paper posits that such innovations are integral, y…
Rethinking disconnection as in-betweenness: Nepal in Chinese knowledge production (1910s–1940s)
The relationship between Nepal and China during the 1910s to 1940s remains an underexplored topic.

It t…

Based on ethnographic research in a Chinese-run guesthouse in Kathmandu, this article examines how such spa…

Arniko's journey traverses boundaries and borders, including those of modern nation-states. However, modern myths invented and circulated between the 1940s to the 1980s prune and flatten this complexity into a framework based on European languages …
