Dr. Sara Shneiderman, a cultural anthropologist at UBC, has worked in Nepal for 20 years. In the wake of Nepal's April and May 2015 earthquakes, she was engaged in relief efforts focused on rural areas - it was through Dr. Shneiderman that TRAS was able to help rebuild toilets in Dolakha, one of the areas worst-hit by the earthquakes. Her current research projects include a multi-disciplinary research partnership on Nepal's post-earthquake reconstruction.

Dr. Shneiderman has kindly agreed to give a talk on Nepal's recovery from the 2015 earthquakes. We're looking forward to hearing about the challenges facing Nepal - political as well as physical - and what TRAS can do to help.
