After relating the fraught process of defining “transnational” and “intercultural,” this chapter describes a meta-analysis of articles published in major TPC journals during a five-year window (2014-2018). The analysis categorizes different types of projects and seeks out advice emerging from scholars’ experiences. The study reveals a wide range of transnational research settings which resist being easily delimited and determines that space in journal articles to reflect on cross-cultural complexities is scarce. Limited reflections from scholars in cross-cultural projects indicate that working in intercultural and transnational spaces requires persistent localization, ongoing adaptation, and a reflective, reflexive mindset. Taken together, these lessons point to ongoing (re)positionality at the center of successful intercultural work. Based on the results of this review, the author recommends the field develop a formal statement of ethics for transnational and intercultural research. That ethic should be human-centered and mindful of social justice principles.","PeriodicalId":176047,"journal":{"name":"Assembling Critical Components: A Framework for Sustaining Technical and Professional Communication","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131554741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
