Mapping Elite Attention Ecosystems on Instagram

Network mapping of Gen-Z-salient political attention in Nepal

A network-analysis project (2026) mapping the structure of political attention around Nepal’s emerging digital Gen-Z movement on Instagram.

The work identifies the most influential activists and traces the “social DNA” of the movement — who anchors attention, and how influence is distributed across the network. It serves as exploratory groundwork for the cross-platform pre-mobilization study of Nepal’s September 2025 protests.
