What does it mean to do “global research”? Global studies is an emerging field that focuses on transboundary, international, and global processes and systems, such as climate change, global social media, and globalization. These issues call for researchers to think beyond conventional state actors or any individual disciplines. Global studies represent a holistic approach that aims to understand contemporary global issues from multi-disciplinary, multi-level, and interactive perspectives.  

 

This workshop aims to help graduate students and faculty within established disciplines to design inter-disciplinary global research projects. It will start with a presentation by Professor McCarty about issues involved in research design in global studies. The presentation will be followed by an interactive workshop where researchers can ask general questions about global research, their own research design, or any design issues they have encountered during their own research. 

The workshop presentation will draw from the book The Global Turn: Theories, Research Designs, and Methods for Global Studies (Darian- Smith and McCarty, 2017), available online through the Leiden University Library.
