Volume 2, Issue 1 of Rigter Journal of Multidisciplinary Research has eight papers in English and one paper in Dzongkha. The papers are categorised under three broad themes which are History and Culture, Education and Wellbeing
There are Three papers on Culture and History wherein one discusses the annual ritual and hospitality, the other is on Bhutanese and western parenting philosophies and the third on glimpses of history and contributions of Zhabdrung Sungtruel Chogley Namgay.
There are four papers on wellbeing. Two papers in this category are case studies of Norbuling Rigter College. The papers assess employees’ wellbeing in the framework of motivation and management with human touch. There is a paper which evaluates the adaptation and resilience of Bhutanese students in Australia while one paper is a narrative of challenges faced by women taxi drivers in Thimphu city.
Two papers are on Education in the context of Norbuling Rigter College. One paper discusses qualitative research culture while the other analyses integration of ICT in teaching and learning at Norbuling Rigter College.
I am hopeful that the audience will savour reading the papers and get fresh insights.
