Lecture
Collaborating with researchers from non-WEIRD countries
In this talk I will discuss possible challenges and cultural barriers that can come up during collaboration with researchers from non-WEIRD countries. I will be drawing from my own experience working with linguists and medical researchers during my recent field trip to Bolivia, South America. I will also make a case for why linguists should always try to approach and work with local researchers when conducting studies in non-WEIRD countries. Something that may seem self-explanatory but is indeed still a large issue, as I will illustrate in the case of highland Bolivia
