FRIAS Research Project

Negotiating Academic Cultures: International Cooperation in the Social Sciences

Description: Exploring academic cultures and investigating international academic collaboration in the Social Sciences will enhance the reflection of how our activities as scholars working in Southeast Asia are being enabled or constrained by the broader context of mutual cultures of cooperation, imaginations of the Other, flows of ideas and ideologies, as well as structural inequalities. Epistemological and methodological questions will be related to dialogical practices and juxtaposed with Southeast Asian approaches to self-determination. Based on anthropological field research and previous studies, the main focus will be on how returnees, after having studied abroad (“academic migrants” to the West, the Arab world or foreign Asian countries), reintegrate in their home universities and collaborate internationally.
