Abstract

By its nature, the subject of transnational caregiving demands innovative transnational research methodologies. The experiences and practices we describe in this book are both emotionally intimate and geographically distant, and the need to capture these two experiences simultaneously has meant transforming conventional research tools into different forms. We outline in this chapter the methodologies we have employed to fit this new research context.
