Alexa, was Buddha Born in Nepal?’
The claim that ‘Buddha was Born in Nepal’ is pervasive in contemporary discourses about Nepali national identity. This article focuses on the ways in which the claim to Buddha’s birthplace is deployed by some Nepalis living beyond Nepal as both a means of maintaining a connection to Nepal as a diasporic homeland and as a means of building their own online celebrity. In particular, I analyse how the claim is communicated online by three Nepali You…
The Worst of Anthro Job Ads for 2021
Every fall, some lucky anthropology departments get to hire. The search for a new colleague happens behind the scenes for a while before it goes public-five-year plans have been written, external reviews have been navigated, lots of conversations have occurred, and some pleading with a dean has taken place.

Mediating claims to Buddha’s birthplace and Nepali national identity
This chapter investigates the ambivalent tensions surrounding the claim that Buddha was born in Nepal through an ethnographic analysis of personal conversations and observations, media artifacts, and unfolding events. Nepal's claim to Buddha's birthplace gives it a unique status among the nations of the world, and thus can be a source of nationalist pride and identity, akin to and often coupled with the boast that Mt. Everest is in Nepal. By anal…
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…

In this fictional story, an anthropologist helps her friend Srijana pack suitcases in preparation for an upcoming trip from Kathmandu to Portland. Srijana's choices about what to take and what to leave behind illustrate the ways in which interpersonal connections are encoded in material objects and illuminate the complex web of relationships between family members in Nepal and North America.
