Researching interculturally:
Conceptual and methodological issues
24 November 2017
Researching Interculturally
Research is very often an intercultural encounter. For students and scholars of Arts and Humanities subjects, researching interculturally requires a critical and creative understanding of the contested concept of culture, the ‘inter-’ aspects of cultural encounters and researchers’ own positions. This workshop will focus on the core conceptual and methodological issues of researching interculturally and is designed to create a space for thinking through and about interculturality both critically and creatively.

Contemporary research involves working across many different cultural boundaries. These boundaries are ethnic, disciplinary, professional, industrial, workplace and community-based. Each of these domains has its own cultures, discourses and practices. The successful twenty-first century researcher must develop the intercultural knowledge and skills to operate sensitively in this complex research arena (Manathunga 2009:175).
