Everest, Everestland, #Everest

Adventure tourism gets no more extreme than mount Everest. Each year sees increasing numbers of trekkers, climbers, and tourists in the region. The evident dangers and risks are, in many ways, the essence of its attraction – an experience to find yourself, define yourself or even display yourself. The establishing of cellular and wifi coverage has meant that even more images are generated each season. How might the experience of Everest be studied from the perspective of anthropology and media? In this edition of the podcast I talk to Jolynna Sinanan from the University of Manchester who is working on just this project. https://research.manchester.ac.uk/en/persons/jolynna.sinanan
