Doing research in cross-cultural settings presents many exciting and daunting challenges. While some are conceivable at the planning stage, their reality and implications only hit home after you have landed and started, and often in unexpected ways.

In this seminar, three PhD researchers from the Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods will share stories from their fieldwork in Timor-Leste and Indonesia to highlight some of the complexities and practical realities of undertaking research in cross-cultural and logistically-challenging settings. Through a series of photos, we explore the intricacies of engaging with multi-tiered formal and informal structures and bureaucracies from national government departments to participants and their communities.

While acknowledging each situation has its own array of complications and there are no straightforward solutions, we suggest five general principles for effective research in these contexts. These principles seek to promote respectful and active engagement with participants and their community (be it local fishers, farmers or government officials) and an understanding of the social and cultural specificities. Albeit these lessons have been derived from experiences in Timor-Leste and Indonesia, their applicability goes beyond these contexts to any situation where researchers are working with people from a different culture or background to their own.







Gianna Bonis-Profumo, Pia Harkness and Kim Hunnam are current PhD students in the last stretch of their candidatures. Their projects involve food security, gender, small-scale fisheries and sustainable coastal livelihoods in remote locations in Timor-Leste and Indonesia.
