This paper lies at the intersection of discussions surrounding digitally mediated research methods and transnational research projects. It contributes to the current methodological debate surrounding online interviewing by focusing on tensions and affordances involved in Skype-to-phone interviewing in a transnational research context. While the Skype-to-phone facility does indeed increase further access to global participants, complex power hierarchies and ethical concerns continue to exist in relation to technological access/infrastructure, research governance regimes in different places and interpersonal research relations. We, therefore, propose that online researchers involved in transnational research projects using Skype methods move towards consideration of multiple competing constituencies and diverse social and spatial connectivities and power hierarchies in which they are researching. These social differences and spatial registers are not swept away through research conducted in a uniform virtual digital environment; rather transnational researchers must make explicit the multiple place-based contexts of their digitally mediated research, as they shape the research process in distinct ways. Thus, specific consideration must be given to ethical concerns that emanate from transnational online research.

跨国在线研究:在 Skype 电话采访中识别多种背景

本文位于围绕数字媒介研究方法和跨国研究项目的讨论的交叉点。它通过关注跨国研究背景下 Skype 到电话采访所涉及的紧张局势和可供性,为当前围绕在线采访的方法论辩论做出了贡献。虽然 Skype-to-phone 设施确实增加了与全球参与者的进一步接触,但在技术访问/基础设施、不同地方的研究治理制度和人际关系研究关系方面,复杂的权力等级和道德问题继续存在。因此,我们 建议使用 Skype 方法参与跨国研究项目的在线研究人员转向考虑他们正在研究的多个相互竞争的选区以及不同的社会和空间联系以及权力等级。在统一的虚拟数字环境中进行的研究并没有消除这些社会差异和空间记录;相反,跨国研究人员必须明确他们以数字为媒介的研究的多重基于地点的背景,因为他们以不同的方式塑造了研究过程。因此,必须特别考虑跨国在线研究引起的伦理问题。在统一的虚拟数字环境中进行的研究并没有消除这些社会差异和空间记录;相反,跨国研究人员必须明确他们以数字为媒介的研究的多重基于地点的背景,因为他们以不同的方式塑造了研究过程。因此,必须特别考虑跨国在线研究引起的伦理问题。在统一的虚拟数字环境中进行的研究并没有消除这些社会差异和空间记录;相反,跨国研究人员必须明确他们以数字为媒介的研究的多重基于地点的背景,因为他们以不同的方式塑造了研究过程。因此,必须特别考虑跨国在线研究引起的伦理问题。
