September Spotlight: Be Inclusive, Aware and Culturally Competent

This month on Methodspace we will explore global perspectives on cultural dimensions of research. Culture involves shared ways of thinking and understanding. Insiders who share those ways and outsiders who don’t. Where do researchers fit… and how can they develop cultural competence needed to conduct research as outsiders?

September Mentors-in-Residence

Meet our Mentors-in-Residence, Safary Wa-Mbaleka and Arceli Rosario are experienced researchers who will help us think about cultural issues in research. They’re co-founders of the Asian Qualitative Research Association and co-editors of the The SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research in the Asian Context.
