Abstract

This paper examines the methodological and ethical challenges of conducting remote
research on child-animal relationships across thirty communities in seventeen countries
during the COVID-19 pandemic. It critically assesses remote research as a mode of
collaboration informed by decolonial aspirations, highlighting the complexities of navigating
temporal and geographical distances, mitigating global inequalities, and addressing political
and methodological tensions at the intersection of psychological anthropology and crosscultural developmental psychology. By engaging with these challenges, the paper fosters
critical dialogue on research ethics and methodologies between anthropology and
psychology, advancing a broader intellectual engagement toward translocal equity
