Preparing for Tomorrow's Teamwork
As organizations increasingly adopt human‐AI teams (HATs), understanding how to enhance team performance is paramount. A crucially underexplored area for supporting HATs is training, particularly helping human teammates to work with these inorganic counterparts. Indeed, research on training for HATs is limited, often relying on human team training frameworks, failing to consider the humans' expertise‐based training needs and how this may affect c…

Youth, meritocracy and cultural hierarchy in the New Nepal
This paper explores Nepali youth expectations about political equality in the ‘New’ Nepal following the promulgation of a constitution in 2015. It discusses the outcome of seven deliberative youth assemblies held across the country in 2018 and 2019, in which youth debated their priorities for the governments at the local, provincial, and federal levels. These assemblies revealed that youth were committed to a conception of meritocracy that priori…
The Nepali-Canadian Living Standards Survey
The Nepali-Canadian Living Standards Survey is collaborative research that assesses the economic and social incorporation of newly immigrated Nepalese into Canada. The study is based on survey interviews with sixty-two Nepali households in the Greater Toronto Area, conducted between November 2015 and April 2016. In this paper, we show that those who have immigrated from Nepal since 2012 are still struggling to find work commensurate with their ex…
Why the Center Can't Hold
“Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold.” These words from Yeats’s poem “The Second Coming” provide Why the Center Can’t Hold with its organizing theme. And although Yeats was describing the grim atmosphere of post-World War I Europe, O’Neill regards the poem’s pronouncements as eerily predictive of the state of the world as we are currently observing it. O’Neill takes them as predictive of the agency in particular of the United States—the “Ce…
The Heart of Helambu
Over the course of the last twenty-five years, Tom O'Neill has traveled frequently to Kathmandu and the Helambu region of Nepal to undertake ethnographic fieldwork with the Yolmo business owners and carpet weavers of the area. The Heart of Helambu is an evocative and touching account of his experiences working in Nepal during those turbulent times.In his autoethnographic memoir, O'Neill reflects on the complex relationships he developed with his …
Student union ‘political anti-politics’ in post-conflict Nepal
In contrast to rhizomatic youth movements that inspired the ‘Arab spring’ uprisings and the ‘Occupy’ movements, youth political activism in Nepal was orchestrated by hierarchical political parties in part through political student unions. The ability of parties to deploy youth into the streets to enforce general strikes and force election participation has been critical to their success, but focus groups conducted with Nepali students in the spri…

In the path of heroes
This paper explores how second-generation Tamil-Canadian university students have modified their ‘cultural heritage’ in the period after the defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in May 2009. Using a generational framework suggested by the work of Karl Mannheim, I show that the events of May 2009 situated second-generation Tamil-Canadian political activism as a response to the ambivalence of their parents to the conflict in Sri La…
Reconceptualizing Children's Rights in International Development
Building on recent human rights scholarship, childhood studies and child rights programming, this conceptual framework on children's rights proposes three key-notions: living rights, or the lived experiences in which rights take shape; social justice, or the shared normative beliefs that make rights appear legitimate for those who struggle to get them recognised; and translations, or the complex flux between different beliefs and perspectives on …
The heart of Helambu
In this article I show how a casual question about a simple Buddhist chorten (a dome-shaped Buddhist reliquary), seen outside a window while conducting an interview in Kathmandu, Nepal, initiated an encounter that eventually implicated me in a project of making merit and cultural capital in a remote village that was well beyond the planned framework of my research. This article narrates the events precipitated by this question, which led me to un…
Ethnic identity and instrumentality in Tibeto-Nepalese carpet production
The invasion of Tibet by the People's Republic of China in 1959 was a disaster for that Himalayan society, as tens of thousands fled to India and millions more remained behind to endure cultural op
Weaving Wages, Indebtedness, and Remittances in the Nepalese Carpet Industry
The persistence of reports about child labor exploitation in the Nepalese carpet industry, particularly by adults who control their weaving wages, begs an account of how carpet-weaving labor is recruited, remunerated, and reproduced. A study of union and nonunion carpet weavers found that most young weavers were not victims of traditional forms of debt bondage and coercive control, but working conditions often led to high levels of indebtedness. …

Anti-Child Labour Rhetoric, Child Protection and Young Carpet Weavers in Kathmandu, Nepal
TThe reputation of the Nepalese carpet industry as one in which young children are forced to labour is persistent, even after efforts by both the Nepalese state, industry organizations and non-government organizations to eradicate it. In this paper, I reflect on ethnographic field research to discuss the aftermath of adverse publicity in Europe and North America about child labour practices in the industry. In particular, the claim that children …
The Lives of the Tibetonepalese Carpet
The popularity of the Tibeto-Nepalese carpet in the European hand-knotted carpet market created a modern industry in peri-urban Kathmandu, Nepal, that established the Tibetan refugee population there as well as a new class of Nepalese entrepreneur. This paper employs Igor Kopytoff's (1986) perspective on the social life of things and Keith Hart's (1982) definition of commoditization to argue that the short career of the Tibeto-Nepalese carpet as …
