Abstract

ABSTRACT This article analyzes a recent Peace Corps Response project led jointly by a Filipino scholar and a U.S. scholar at a rural university in the Philippines with the goal of coaching faculty who seek to make it in the world of international scholarly research and publishing. The article first highlights ten major challenges including lack of internet, university bureaucracy, limited time, lack of training, clashing incentives, and lack of knowledge about professional opportunities. Ideas for leveling the playing field for scholars around the world are presented, including: Increased internet access, open access to the scholarly literature, streamlined university processes, more in-country research funding opportunities, individualized research consultations, group seminars offered by national and international professional organizations, enhanced graduate education on research process and methods, grant and fellowship opportunities that reach beyond elite institutions, funds to attend international conferences, and additional scholarly networking opportunities.
