Disaster and Social Work in Nepal
Despite social work’s about three decades of history and most populations being at risk of multiple natural disasters, Nepali social workers are yet to establish their foothold in the sector of disaster in Nepal.

Conversation with the Twenty-First Century Social Work
This article explores ‘post(s)’ perspective understandings for the 21st century social work. Drawing mainly on post-debates, this article argues that human beings and their societies will evolve in unimagined ways in the future than these have been in all of their previous historical periods. Social work therefore must re-invent and re-adjust itself in the rest of the 21st century. Such re-invention and re-adjustment, however, will pivot around s…
Decolonising social work with Nepali women
A plethora of discussion informs decolonising social work. However, how social work can be decolonised from women’s perspective is still unexplored. Using the context of Nepal as a case study, this article theoretically explores ‘the what’, ‘the why’ and ‘the how’ of decolonising social work from women’s standpoint. It is hoped this analysis will initiate and contribute to the critical debate on women, social work and decolonisation in Nepal and …

The doctor, development and (un)sociable monkey
