    S9E5 - Sajag-Nepal (Part 1)

    S9E5 - Sajag-Nepal (Part 1)

    Sajag-Nepal's "Notes from the Field" is a three-episode podcast for "Disasters: Deconstructed" This special episode will introduce listeners to the work and scope of the "Sajag-Nepal: Planning and Preparedness for the Mountain Hazard and Risk Chain in Nepal" project. Most importantly it will explore Sajag-Nepal project’s approaches to interdisciplinary and intercultural research on multi-hazards and risk chains in Nepal. 
    In the first episode, we discuss cascading hazards in Nepal, with a focus on earthquakes and monsoon-triggered hazards like landslides. This episode will center around the project’s approaches to interdisciplinary and intercultural research. 
    The second episode will explore the understanding of multi-hazards from the perspectives of both the local community and scientists. To do this, we will take the episode to Temal and engage in conversations with local community members to gain insights into their understanding of hazards/multi-hazards. Additionally, we will interview anthropologist Mukta Tamang, geographer Gopi Basyal and geologist Megh Dhital on the topic. 
    The final episode will focus on Slope Monitoring Equipment, which aims to study slope movement. Additionally, we will engage in discussions with community members from Bhotekoshi to better understand their perspectives on slope movement. The goal of this episode is to facilitate a dialogue between scientific knowledge and community insights regarding slope movement. 
    We hope you enjoy the discussion!

WolfgangDerek ,

I've learned alot from this podcast!

The issue of disaster is a complex one. Through excellent hosts and guests, this podcast continues to disentangle the thorny question of whether disasters are ever "natural". I've learned a lot!
