Nepal

Nancy Erbstein, an associate professor in the School of Education and Associate Vice Provost, focuses on youth civic engagement and well-being, inspired by her own study abroad experience in Nepal. Jonathan K. London, a professor in Human Ecology, specializes in environmental justice and community organizing, drawing from his work in the Brazilian Amazon, Nepal, and California, and co-leads Youth In Focus with Erbstein to empower youth through participatory research.

Students will collaborate with Nepali peers on interdisciplinary projects addressing local development, agriculture, public health, and more, while immersing themselves in Nepal’s social, cultural, and environmental changes.
