einen Vortrag mit dem Titel

„Researching multiculturalism – potential and challenges”

Abstract

The presentation embraces key aspects of researching culturally diverse societies and communities specificly for heterogeneity of their cultural components such as linguistics, ethnics, national, confessional and lifestyle patterns. Such complexity must be taken into account while preparing, conducting and then processing data from intercultural field research. On one hand, it can significantly contribute to the abundance and reliability of the research results, but on the other hand it can also generate obstacles and challenges to a researcher dealing with such reality. Both issues will be tackled relying on own, 15-year long experience of field research in multicultural Bosnia-Herzegovina.


The specific aspects to be covered within this topic comprise

  1. Outline of the cultural diversity of the contemporary Bosnia-Herzegovina;
  2.  Qualitative ethnography as a useful tool of intercultural education research;
  3.  Specificity of indigenously oriented research of multiculturalism;
  4.  Challenges to in-depth interviews and participant observation in a multicultural setting;
  5.  Advantages of researching multicultural societies within the framework of qualitative methodology.
