Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The major objective of this class is to enable students, under expert guidance and supervision, to read and analyse some of the selected writings from Nepali Newspapers. We will read selected articles focusing on women’s issue published in Nepali Newspapers and blogs. Our course aims at development of overall proficiency in the language and knowledge of issues concerning the Nepalese women in the Nepalese society. It concerns the current questions and discourse in contemporary Nepalese media about women.

Assessment and permitted materials

The class meetings are divided into close reading, discussion and formal lecturing. It is absolutely necessary that all students engage with the weekly reading in order to participate in the class discussions. Selected texts will be used in the class for close reading, translation and analysis. Regular participation and a sound knowledge of Nepali are strictly demanded for the course. Final examination asks students to respond to questions pertaining to the class readings. The final grade will be calculated as follows: class attendance, reading text preparation and participation 20%, final written exam 25%, home works 20% and an essay in Nepali (35%).
