Research Beyond Borders: Multidisciplinary Reflections: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Research Beyond Borders: Multidisciplinary Reflections" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This collection draws insights from an interdisciplinary group of scholars who specialize in diverse methods ranging from ethnography, archival research, and oral histories, to quantitative data analysis and experiments used in the social sciences and humanities to reflect on the empirical, methodological, and practical implications of conducting research beyond ones national borders. The goal of this book is to help researchers contemplate existing orientations that dominate current research processes and consider the need for transnational multidisciplinary practices that remain aware of the inequalities which continually inform research practices. With this focus, this collection is also a resourceful initiative that seeks to share experiences as well as extract key ideas and approaches likely to overlap or resonate in different disciplines.
