Abstract

International research examines the differences and similarities in information processes and phenomena across countries or cultures. International studies are challenging to conduct due to cultural and linguistic barriers, ethical concerns, methodological complexities, and the legacy of the colonial research model. This 90-minute panel will focus on the ethical and methodological challenges and practical solutions in conducting international research. The panelists will share their experiences from three international studies and will invite the scholarly community to engage critically in discussing methodological issues and ethical concerns in LIS international research.
