Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
Publications were completed and writing of the manuscript is advancing steadily. However, key data can only be collected in the field in Sri Lanka and fieldwork has not been possible during 2020.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
I have 2 workshop lined-up for 2021 and I plan to contact university publishers to seek a book contract. As soon as travel conditions are good, I plan to travel to Sri Lanka for fieldwork.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Given that in AY2020 I was not able to conduct fieldwork in Sri Lanka, I intend to spend as much time as possible conducting interviews and collecting field data
