With special funding from University of Toronto’s Dean’s International Initiative Fund, in May and June of 2017 two University of Toronto students, Helen Loghrin and Sarah Ray, travelled to Nepal with Toronto-based research associate Elsie Lewison to help lay the foundations for the development of a graphic ethnography on the politics of roads. In Nepal, the students travelled with Nepal-based research associate Shyam Kunwar to one of the project district sites in Nepal to gather visual documentation (photographs), to be used for storyboarding and design and work with the core team members to identify potential narratives for the graphic ethnography.
As part of the project, Helen and Sarah developed an interactive map sharing some of the narratives that they documented over the course of the trip.
