Nothing Stands Still

Abstract

To cross-cultural borders in research is a slippery and complicated endeavor, and good intentions, though essential, are not enough to help researchers make those crossings with respect for those they research and with their own integrity intact. With diversity now a world-wide reality, cross-cultural research has become an endeavor for most of those who research in social settings. Though cross-cultural research has different meanings in different disciplines, it is hoped that this book will benefit any researcher who crosses into another culture to pose questions, formulate hypotheses, accrue new knowledge, or, even better, collaborate with those of a different culture to solve problems.
