She has over twenty years of experience conducting fieldwork with Nepali deaf communities, culminating in a recent, award-winning book, titled, Signing and Belonging in Nepal. One of the highlights of her teaching career was bringing a team of Oberlin students to Kathmandu to collaborate in her research there.

A Journey Through Bhutan Dear Oberlin Travelers, High in the majestic eastern Himalaya, nestled between Tibet and India, is the small Kingdom of Bhutan, increasingly renowned as one of the Earth’s last precious unspoiled spots. Here, an intact Buddhist culture is integrated into every aspect of daily life. The breathtaking landscape is dotted with fluttering prayer flags, and colorful farmhouses set into terraced fields. Thick forests are alive with bird calls, and panoramic views of the Himalaya unfold. On this ten-day trip you’ll interact with the architects of Bhutan’s national policy of “Gross National Happiness;” will participate in Buddhist rituals explained by learned lamas; will try your hand at making indigenous crafts; and will enjoy a meal with a farming family.
