Boundary objects as visualisation tools for collaborative research across disciplines
Shankar Sankaran, Stewart Clegg, Jeffrey Scales, Catherine Killen
In our recent research, we were unable to collaborate face-to-face to conduct a joint data analysis between researchers from the UK and Australia due to COVID-19, which prevented researchers from the UK from travelling to Australia. We ended up doing this collaborative data analysis using a boundary object (a visual template) to conduct joint data analysis over a limited time (due to geographical time constraints) and develop our theoretical contribution using a template analysis tool that we have not used before. We will explain the use of template analysis as a boundary object to conduct collaborative research.
