he Britain-Nepal Academic Council (BNAC) invites scholars and practitioners from all disciplines and all career-stages, as well as the curious general public, to participate in the 21st BNAC Nepal Study Days in Edinburgh on 13-14th May 2024. We welcome proposals for contributions that share research findings related to Nepali society, the broader Nepali cultural world, or relating to the Nepali diaspora. BNAC is well known for its interdisciplinary focus, and as such, research from all disciplines is welcomed. We also welcome transdisciplinary and action-research that engages with non-academic partners across Nepal, as well as work related to academic teaching in relation to Nepal.
This year we are looking to combine traditional paper presentations with other formats of sharing and discussion, thus we invite participation under the following themes:
- Paper presentations (each of 15 minutes + 5 minute Q&A)
- Panel discussion (chaired discussions involving invited 3-4 panellists, lasting 1 hour)
- Pitch your work (‘speed talks’ sharing your ideas for work/work-in-progress, followed by facilitated feedback from the audience)
- Posters
Participation is in-person only.
