When conducting research in developing countries, an ability to
negotiate a bewildering array of cultural and logistical obstacles
is essential. Overseas Research: A Practical Guide distills
essential lessons from scores of students and scholars who have
collected data and done fieldwork abroad, including how to prepare
for the field, how and where to find funding for one's fieldwork,
issues of personal safety and security, and myriad logistical and
relational issues. By encouraging researchers to think through the
challenges of research before they begin it, Overseas Research will
help prepare fieldworkers for the practical, logistical, and
psychological considerations of very demanding work, help save
valuable time, make the most of scarce financial resources, and
enhance the quality of the field research. This third edition
contains new material on social media, including representation of
research subjects/collaborators, students' digital branding and
image, and representing universities abroad when posting publicly.
It also covers emerging technologies such as solar panels for power
in remote locations, new ways of digitally sending and receiving
money, and incorporates more perspectives of women, LGBTQ+ people,
and people of color researching abroad. The book will be of
interest to overseas fieldworkers, and also to undergraduates in
subjects such as anthropology, economics, geography, history,
international studies, politics, sociology, and development
studies.
