New article in Ethos
Ferdiansyah Thajib, together with 19 co-authors from interdisciplinary backgrounds, has just published a paper in Ethos titled: “Combining remote and collaborative research: A critical reflection on large-scale, comparative, and interdisciplinary research in times of a global crisis.”
The paper explores the methodological and ethical challenges of conducting remote research on child–animal relationships across 30 communities in 17 countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. It critically examines remote research as a collaborative mode shaped by decolonial aspirations, highlighting the complexities of navigating temporal and geographical distances, addressing global inequalities, and managing political and methodological tensions at the intersection of psychological anthropology and cross-cultural developmental psychology.
By engaging these challenges, the paper fosters critical dialogue on research ethics and methodologies between anthropology and psychology, contributing to broader intellectual conversations around translocal equity.
