SUMMARY:Planning Workshop\, Beirut
DESCRIPTION:On December 6–7\, a planning workshop of the Transregional Collaboratory on the Indian Ocean took place in Beirut\, Lebanon\, hosted by our partners at the Arab Council for the Social Sciences. The workshop brought together eight regional experts representing institutions across Africa\, Asia\, the US\, and the UK\, and the disciplines of history\, economics\, anthropology\, sociology\, geography\, and political science. Discussions were further informed by generous written contributions from scholars who could not be in attendance. \nOver the course of the two-day meeting\, the group reflected on the potential of the Collaboratory to catalyze innovative social research in the region and to encourage models of effective collaborative research. Among the key issues raised were the evolving intellectual project of Indian Ocean studies as well as the benefits and limitations of using the lens of climate change and other environmental issues in shaping new knowledge about this historically rich region. For instance\, how might research into water scarcity inform our understanding of migration and conflict? What insights could an emphasis on coastal communities and livelihoods bring to studies of governance and infrastructure? \nParticipants also suggested that research engage previously understudied subregions within the Indian Ocean world\, including the Arab Gulf and coastal East Africa\, and reflect on the region’s connectedness to other oceans. Participants also discussed the practicalities of effective collaborative research\, including the need for clearer ethical standards and principles regarding both interregional research collaboration and knowledge production in and about the Global South. Central concerns included the problem of translating ethical principles into practical models of collaboration\, and addressing ethics beyond the research planning and funding phases to include the dissemination of research and its impact on research subjects. \nDrawing on the recommendations emerging from this meeting\, program staff have developed the Collaboratory’s first call for funding applications for Transregional Planning Grants. Applications are due May 8\, 2020. \nMeeting Participants \nSelina Ho\, National University of Singapore\nHafeez Jamali\, Government of Balochistan\nGodwin Murunga\, CODESRIA\nRohit Negi\, Ambedkar University\, Delhi\nRavi Palat\, Binghamton University\nWilmar Salim\, Bandung Institute of Technology\nMathew Senga\, University of Dar es Salaam\nSeteney Shami\, Arab Council for the Social Sciences\nAla’a Shehabi\, University College London \nOther Contributors \nJatin Dua\, University of Michigan\nDevleena Ghosh\, University of Technology\, Sydney\nPamila Gupta\, University of the Witwatersrand\nIsabel Hofmeyr\, University of the Witwatersrand/New York University\nRita Padawangi\, National University of Singapore\nAlexis Wick\, Koç University
