Ann Frechette, the Luce Junior Professor of Asian Studies, recently presented two papers as well as published two book reviews. The first paper, "Parties and Party Politics among Tibetans in Nepal," was presented at the meeting of the New England Association for Asian Studies from Oct. 25-26. At the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association in Chicago from Nov. 19-20, she presented her paper titled "Weapons of Weak States: Nepal and the Tibetan Exiles," as part of a panel called "People on the Edge: Negotiating International and Reginal Borders."
Earlier in the year, Frechette also published two book reviews. The first, on Michael Hutt's Unbecoming Citizens: Culture, Nationhood, and the Flight of Refugees from Bhutan, appeared in the Journal of Refugee Studies. The second, a review of Ways of Being Ethnic in Southwest China by Stevan Harrell, was published in the Journal of Asian Studies.
