Abstract
In a globalized world, there is a need for interdisciplinary education that is deeply connected to the world where the boundaries between countries are permeable, events, trends, and decisions in one part of the world can have far-reaching consequences elsewhere. The result of this interconnectedness is globalization, whereby people can create intricate social and commercial networks over great distances, both within and outside of national and cultural boundaries creating cooperation and collaboration between people and countries. The connectedness generates knowledge that requires responsible conduct of research, taking advantage of the opportunities available enabled by new technologies. The chapter interrogates the extent to which academic research adheres to the ethical requirements, equity and fairness in such collaborations, global cultural goals and practices, and how scholars adapt their research to address issues that arise due to globalization. How research findings are disseminated and who gains from the dissemination is also assessed.
