Researching Abroad

The plane has landed, the boxes are unpacked, and you''re finally doing what you prepared for years to do, teach in a distant classroom. This preparation- aside from a decade or more of post high school education-included conferences, extensive research, advice from seasoned travelers, interviews, and hours of family discussions and prayers. One notable omission was likely made in your preparation, an omission that may go unnoticed until sitting at your new desk five thousand miles from home: practical advice on how to conduct research abroad. This brief, encouraging, and easy-to-read book provides advice, with down-to-earth tips and tools, for professors in the arts and humanities who aspire to research and write while living internationally.
