Synopsis: 
What are the Costs, Benefits, and Joys of Global Research and Scholarship?

What are the potential gains and risks in traveling overseas for research?  Drawing on personal experiences in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, I will explore some of the joys as well as the pitfalls in conducting research overseas.  And, from my perspective as a social scientist who values empirical research and the complex dynamics of human interactions, we will explore examples of networking strategies, intercultural communication and competence, and research skills with the goal of stimulating student and faculty interest in travelling outside their home cultures for research and scholarship.


Biodata of Dr. Laura Elder

Laura Elder is a cultural anthropologist and teaches in the Department of Global Studies at Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame.  During her graduate studies in New York, she became engrossed in the dynamic histories and cultures of Southeast Asia.  And, as a result, she has carried out fieldwork in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Qatar, and Singapore.  Her primary research interests are global political economy, Islam, and gender.  In her research she has exposed the importance of race and class in patterns of networking and capital accumulation among Asian hedge funds in Malaysia.  And currently, she is researching the changing power elite in global financial regimes through a comparative analysis of the promotion of women’s expertise in Islamic finance in Southeast Asian and Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
