- discusses challenges posed by a variety of mono- and multilingual settings, from remote island communities to large urban areas
- includes research from across the Asia-Pacific area, including Australia, New Zealand and East Timor, and also the US
Doing Research within Communities is essential reading for early career researchers and graduate students undertaking fieldwork within communities.
