In the first half of FY2022, I was mainly immersed in the publication of my previous research, which provides the theoretical and analytical foundation to my ongoing research on Nepali migration and the diasporic formations. This included working closely with my publisher University of Washington Press, editorial team, production, and marketing departments. In addition, I worked with a cartographer, proof-reader, indexer in the final stages of book production.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
One of the main reasons for incurring amount: I did not make research trips and attended international conference and workshop via online. I used most of my time to complete my book, working with the publisher to place the manuscript for peer-review, including revision, re-reviews, editing, proofreading, indexing, and final stages of the production.
I plan on using the incurring amount for travel in the next fiscal year: research trips to Hong Kong in summer for preliminary research site visits and establish contacts with colleagues at the following institutions: Hong Kong Shue Yan University, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University
International research trip to Europe (UK and possibly Paris) in December/January and participate in the book promotion events and discussions.
