Date: Wed, 8 May 1996 22:34:44 +0930 From: Owen.Lewis-AT-FLINDERS.EDU.AU (Owen Lewis) Subject: Himalayan Symposium sir/madam - sri/srimati I would be most interested to receive a copy of the paper by Shakya and Parish on Urban Newar Women. I am writing up a work on participation and development in a well project in Patan (UMN-CDHP). The people of the area are Newars including Maharjans and Shakyas. One finding was that it was difficult to involve women in decision making about construction activity - the preserve of men. The men even made the pump handle too high for the women to pump comfortably. I am trying to sort out the cross cultural ethics involved in seeking to influence gender roles as an expatriate. thankyou Owen Lewis (owen.lewis-AT-flinders.edu.au) PhD student International Health and Development 1 Clapton Road, Marryatville, South Australia 5068
