Subject: Researching Transculturally: Methodological Issues and Challenges

 
Researchers often work in culturally and linguistic challenging contexts. They
interact with research participants whose native language and sociocultural
backgrounds are different to their own. They also conduct fieldwork in
settings that are unfamiliar to them—constantly having to make decisions as
minute as what to wear, how to greet people in a culturally appropriate
manner, or whether taking photographs of place and people is taboo. There are
a number of other challenges, such as differing roles and expectations,
conflicting cultural values and world views, power relations, and culturally
sensitive ethical practices. There is very little practical guidance in the
literature that can help qualitative researchers navigate the terrain of
researching across cultures. This volume will present contributions from
different researchers that provide the reader with an idea of the challenges
and issues they faced while researching transculturally. Contributions will
provide a behind-the-scenes perspective or narrative accounts that are not
often written about as part of journal articles or monographs.

Deadline for the submission of abstract/proposal (300 words): 30 June 2021
