X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p>How are aviation workers dealing with the 
 growth of air travel in and out of Nepal? Over the past two decades\, the n
 umber of aircraft\, routes\, and mobility has increased. However\, air traf
 fic controllers\, operations staff\, and crew find themselves under conside
 rable pressure to deal with the increasing flow of passengers through a lim
 ited infrastructure\, a shortage of pilots\, and relative political uncerta
 inty. In this talk\, I discuss how tensions between the future targets of t
 he global aviation industry and the everyday practices of managing air trav
 el in Nepal produce specific spatial hierarchies as well as creative soluti
 ons.</p><p><strong>Speaker Bio: </strong></p><p>Tina Harris is a senior lec
