Description¶

Citing Prof. Stafford Hood, the presentation recommends that researchers working outside their own culture "make sure that you have a cultural liaison" who knows "what to pay attention to and how you are supposed to engage/enter into a particular setting." Hood also advises that researchers must "always actively strive to be a scholar/teacher and student at the same time," noting a common rhythm across traditionally oppressed groups responding to societal pressures.
