ABSTRACT
Throughout the process of doing fieldwork, writing, and rethinking, I have come to realize the difficulties in trying to evaluate the gendered positioning of individual women, men, girls, and boys in the Jiri community. In analyzing the data collected through interviews and observations, I now know that people’s individual lives and their varied gender experiences in Jiri VDC shifted, rather than remaining the same over time. These diverse gendered experiences represented many different aspects of the gender process, a process more open to change than I once thought. At the end, I am uncertain as to my ability to draw conclusions and find I have more questions than when I started.
