The students at Portland State University
and the Association
for Nepal and Himalayan Studies (ANHS) produce an annual the
High Asia Calendar highlighting the peoples and places of the greater
Himalayan region.
Nepal, 2006, like our first calendar, Journey to High Asia, 2004,
joins photographs contributed by artists from all over the world
with maps and text intended to answer the questions evoked by each
month's photograph.
The goal of the calendars is to deepen understanding of the landscapes,
lives, and issues of High Asia, and to foster appreciation and tolerance
for far-away peoples and places. We want calendar users to share
the exploration and discovery experienced by the PSU seniors who
created this calendar, and to find the photographs to be springboards
to deeper awareness, as we did. |
