Why is it important?
Our findings of what dwellings really mean to pastoral peoples of high mountains and excactly how these incredible dwellings differ and share similarities with "fixed houses" and "permanent settlements" are important.
Perspectives
The rich comparative insights and contrasting perspectives I could draw on - exploring both "First Pole" and " Third Pole" regions - is the most facinating feature of this article.
