Bilingual And Bicultural Research Teams: Unpacking The Complexities., Maya I I. Ragavan, John Cowden

Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers

Researchers often describe use of "bilingual/bicultural" research teams, especially for research being conducted with marginalized communities. In this perspectives article, we argue that while increasing the diversity of research teams is imperative, using the term "bilingual/bicultural" without further explanation is problematic.

Finally, we provide recommendations for researchers, journals, and funding agencies.
