  • Mixed-Method Research on Bhutanese
    GURUNG, ANUJ, Ph. D., August 2019 POLITICAL SCIENCE ANATOMY OF RESETTLEMENT: MIXED-METHOD RESEARCH ON BHUTANESE REFUGEES (410 PP.) Dissertation Advisor: Landon E. Hancock This dissertation is a much-needed study of how resettlement impacts refugees. I found the ‘solution’ of resettlement to be promising for some refugees yet restrictive for others. Based on my analysis, Bhutanese refugees interpret their past and present differently in negotiating their place and identity in resettlement. In Akron, many have found stable jobs, started businesses, and are pursuing higher education aspirations. Opportunities in resettlement and their positive self-perception allows these individuals to expand and ‘own’ their new revised identities (e.g. Bhutanese-Nepali), in contrast to the primary socialized identity preferences (i.e. the Bhutanese label) of refugees who find themselves marginalized and dependent in their new environment. At a broader level, I have found the US resettlement policy to be exclusively invested in economic output of refugees with little regard for their socio-cultural adaptation. Given the diversity of refugee experiences and their reasons behind ‘choosing’ resettlement, resettlement policy merits further critical examination and likely a structural revision. Scholars of refugee and immigrant behavior, as well as interested policy makers will find this work highly pertinent. In this study, I used ethnographic research—interviews and field observations—centered on Bhutanese refugees; I also employed a limited statistical examination of refugee migration patterns in the US. i ANATOMY OF RESETTLEMENT: MIXED-METHOD RESEARCH ON BHUTANESE REFUGEES A dissertation submitted to Kent State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Anuj Gurung August 2019 © Copyright All rights reserved Except for previously published materials ii Dissertation written by Anuj Gurung B.A.

  • Chapter 3 Methodology…
    Chapter 3 Methodology… Methodology….. CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY The research being descriptive and analytical in nature, a longitudinal research design was planned to accomplish the framed objectives. The study had been divided into three different phases. The detailed historical research was conducted during the first phase while the second phase included the collection and documentation of the data. Earnest efforts for the preservation and popularization of the traditional royal costumes were made during the third phase of research. The organized research procedure that would be accomplishing the present study is mentioned as follows: 3.1 Selection of topic The present research had started with an inspiring thought of investigator’s master’s dissertation work and experiences. The researcher had seen various researches and documentation of Indian royal costumes especially of princely states of Rajasthan and Gujarat and found that the dearth of information was available on the royal costumes of Kachchh which led researcher towards its investigation. The present research had taken its shape as a researcher came across royal heritage of Kachchh for taking it into the limelight and preserving it in a decent manner for future generation. Moreover, the statement of the problem identified as Documentation of traditional costumes of rulers of Kachchh. The rulers of Kachchh were not as popular as other princely state rulers. The word “royal costume” provides an impression of luxurious fabrics, embellishments, and royalty. There could be the difference in these elements in royal costumes of Kachchh compared to other ruler’s costume. Kachchh’s geographical location has Rajasthan one end and Sindh Pakistan at the other end as neighboring states which could have influenced the costumes.

  • An Entrepreneurial Exploration of Dhaka Fabric Shaili Ghimire Daayitwa Fellow Summer 2015
    An entrepreneurial exploration of dhaka fabric | Ghimire An entrepreneurial exploration of dhaka fabric Shaili Ghimire Daayitwa Fellow Summer 2015 i An entrepreneurial exploration of dhaka fabric | Ghimire Abstract This report started out seeking answers to the following questions: a) what are some basic things a potential dhaka entrepreneur needs to know before he/she enters this market? b) Given that so much has already been done with dhaka fabric, what market potential does this fabric still hold? What market segment has yet to be targeted? And last but not least, c) how much do dhaka fabric producers make? To answer the above mentioned questions, I conducted interviews with NGOs working with dhaka fabric and dhaka producers. I went on site visits to SABAH Nepal, a local store producing fashionable clothing with dhaka fabric, and to a power loom in Bhaktapur. In addition, I also conducted desk research on dhaka fabric to understand where it is made and to find out how dhaka fabric has been marketed abroad. As a result of conducting activities mentioned in the last paragraph, I found that often, the general business thought in Nepal is that, it is better to export than to produce for the local market. For this reason, there is much space still available to target the average Nepali consumer with dhaka fabric products. Such products can be all dhaka or just contain borders or portions of dhaka fabric. Such products can use either power loom or handloom dhaka, though the cheaper input is the power loom fabric. These findings imply that if you are an entrepreneur, produce for your local market.
