C04 - In a Land Far, Far Away: Lessons Learned From International Field Research

CLICK HERE to view captioning for this session! 

Paddington Bear, the Hobbit, and the Minions are all travelers, visiting new lands and having all kinds of adventures. Similarly, humans, including SBE researchers, travel to foreign lands to gain new experiences and to learn about different peoples and cultures. In doing so, SBE researchers, including graduate students, may encounter a number of issues presenting challenges for their research or risk to their research participants or others. Planning ahead to anticipate such issues can ameliorate many of the associated concerns, but that requires HRPPs/IRBs and researchers to understand what issues may arise. This session will focus on the lessons learned by two seasoned HRPPs regarding international SBE field research. (P.S. Feel free to bring your marmalade sandwiches to the session.)
