• Gen Z Rising

    Cordier Auditorium

    Dr. Anuj Gurung and MU students of Jan 26 This presentation, led by MU students who have visited Nepal, explores the unprecedented role of Nepalโ€™s Generation Z in challenging entrenched political systems and catalyzing a change of government.

We will trace the movementโ€™s origins, tactics, and leadership, highlight the cultural and political context that gave rise to it, and consider its implications for democratic participation, governance, and intergenerational power dynamics across South Asia and beyond.
