ABSTRACT

The authors of this perspectives-based paper analyze the research process and results of an undergraduate research (UR) partnership that involved both of us – an undergraduate student and a faculty member with international backgrounds–, a local non-profit organization in North Carolina that connected the authors with research participants who are refugees from diverse origins in Africa and South Asia, and a foreign non-profit organization that connected the authors with Nepali research participants in Nepal. Learning about how this research partnership worked, its challenges and successes is important to better understand how faculty members of diverse origins can effectively mentor undergraduate students of diverse origins in both local and global contexts. Recommendations and lessons learned are offered.

摘要

这篇基于观点的论文的作者分析了本科生研究 (UR) 合作伙伴关系的研究过程和结果，该合作伙伴关系涉及我们双方——一名本科生和一名具有国际背景的教职员工——这是北卡罗来纳州的一家当地非营利组织，将作者与来自非洲和南亚不同血统的难民的研究参与者联系起来，以及将作者与尼泊尔的尼泊尔研究参与者联系起来的外国非营利组织。了解这种研究伙伴关系如何运作、其挑战和成功对于更好地了解不同来源的教职员工如何在本地和全球背景下有效地指导不同来源的本科生非常重要。提供了建议和经验教训。
