ABSTRACT
As scholars conducting international research for the first time, we found the existing literature allowed us to do some things well but left us lacking in other areas. From our experiences, we learned that researchers should be prepared to study and work in ways that recontextualize their understanding of the world based on the unique place in which they are working. Further, researchers should take into account their own footprint as they transit, stay, eat, and work in areas of the world less familiar to them. Ethical research must also consider the positionality of study participants, accounting for the ways in which they also experience privilege.
