Uganda’s Structural Violence Matches India’s – Destination TBD

https://kaitlinmurrayintdev.wordpress.com/2016/04/11/ugandas-structural-violence-matches-indias

April 11, 2016. Uganda’s Structural Violence Matches India’s. I am working on a thesis that outlines the reason why a particular act – the Forest Rights Act. 8211; has been put into place in India to protect Forest Dwellers and farmers from brutal eviction. Why does it happen? A part of the concept of Structural Violence. I’ll be honest, I’m more knowledgeable about India’s situation, rather than Uganda’s, but it begs the question for me: if something is so ingrained into a social...India has the Forest ...

The Horns of a Bull, Squeaky Sweets and the Mosquito Man – Destination TBD

https://kaitlinmurrayintdev.wordpress.com/2016/04/12/the-horns-of-a-bull-squeaky-sweets-and-the-mosquito-man

April 12, 2016. April 12, 2016. The Horns of a Bull, Squeaky Sweets and the Mosquito Man. Three short stories about my day today, but the last one is definitely the funniest. 🙂. The first: Horns of a Bull. The past week I’ve been working at KIIT University daily because, well there’s A/C and it’s 45 degrees today (no joke) but also because I’m at the end of my time here and have 10 days to write a thesis! Haha, okay, ten more. But for now, I have ten days to write a thesis. 🙂. Sure enough the bull deci...

Africa: Dead Aid by Moyo? Or Race Against Time by Lewis? – Destination TBD

https://kaitlinmurrayintdev.wordpress.com/2016/11/10/africa-dead-aid-by-moyo-or-race-against-time-by-lewis

November 10, 2016. Africa: Dead Aid by Moyo? Or Race Against Time by Lewis? In one of my classes, we were given two chapters to read: Chapter 2 in Stephen Lewis’ book Race Against Time and chapter 3 in Dambisa Moyo’s book Dead Aid and instructed to write an opinion piece about them that is no longer than one page. Another critique I read on her chapter asks: what about the oil in Saudi Arabia and the Swiss Banks? There are other factors. I have always and will continue to believe that self-sustainability...

November 13, 2016. November 13, 2016. What being a Sojourner was like. Grappling my time in India. Haha, this photo is blurry but it was my favourite day there. 🙂. I know it’s blurry but this was one of my favourite days at a market. 🙂. Lots of fun photos in this blog. 🙂 My prof’s kids and I checking out the Jain Caves, Bhubaneswar. First for the first two boring paragraphs below, then my actual lived experience:. I’m reading an article right now for one of my classes called. By Kristjansdottir (2009)...

My Momentary Distraction – Destination TBD

https://kaitlinmurrayintdev.wordpress.com/2016/09/04/my-momentary-distraction

September 4, 2016. Its silhouette is above me, blocking out the sun. It’s wings large and mighty and looking ready to conquer even the strongest of storms. It scans the shore for morsels of food, or maybe some prey underwater, a rare but tasty treat. A fish jumps. The goose just looks around as if the coolest landing in all of eternity didn’t just happen. The bird begins to chatter with her friends about the weather and the waves go away. I continue biking.

How India’s Land Demarcation is Basically the Hunger Games – Destination TBD

https://kaitlinmurrayintdev.wordpress.com/2016/04/20/how-land-demarcation-is-basically-the-hunger-games

April 20, 2016. April 20, 2016. How India’s Land Demarcation is Basically the Hunger Games. Every so often, when I’m analysing the translations from the interviews I conducted for this research, I get a really tight knot in my stomach and need to take a second to let the shock of something I realize set in. The majority of forest (aka jungle) dwellers in India are largely part of the castes ST – Scheduled Tribe or SC – Scheduled Caste, where SCs are much larger in number. Now, the very small (small not i...

Madhu Goes Horseriding – Destination TBD

https://kaitlinmurrayintdev.wordpress.com/2016/09/08/madhu-goes-horseriding

September 8, 2016. This is a very short story to explain this photo. 🙂. So Madhu, the one I wrote about already in David and the Cheetah. Is such a goofball, and this photo probably proves it. In this case she was (here) and saw this white horse in the distance. She approached it and saw that there were so many little children hopping on the back of it and having far too much fun. They were paying the man some money to hop on the back of it as well. So she hopped on the horse. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

How INDEV Affects YOU – Destination TBD

https://kaitlinmurrayintdev.wordpress.com/aboutpage

How INDEV Affects YOU. International Development is an incredibly important field. It involves everything! Down to where your food comes from and where you shop, where and to whom you donate, the commercials you watch, that cup of coffee or can of coke you are currently sipping on. What you do every day creates a ripple effect on the entire globe. That sounds serious… and it is! 8220;But,” you think, “how can I do so much damage, I’m just one person! I am not a pessimist. Instead, I am an optimistic Inte...
