Dear RADIXers,
I am happy to invite you to download for your personal research, teaching and practice a paper comparing risk governance in Nepal and Bihar, India on which I am third author: http://authors.elsevier.com/a/1SCiJ7t2zYm0kU.
This time of the year in the northern Hemisphere finds many cultures celebrating light (for example, Diwali, Chanukah and Christmas). I look at a candle and think of the many thousands of rural people in Nepal who have hardly begun to recover from the April earthquake at all and have received very little assistance from their government to prepare for a harsh winter. If you are sitting comfortably in a warm, well-lit place, please consider making a small donation to Shelterbox, an INGO that is managing to get winterized tents and solar lamps to rural people in Nepal: http://www.shelterbox.org/.
As the solstice approaches, I am sure Maureen joins me in wishing all RADIX participants success in bringing about social, environmental and climate justice and peace and reconciliation in 2016.
