A Visible City: How do anthropologists blink?: "Pat and others at ID have a project called Design for the Base of the Pyramid. Most of the research has been conducted remotely in India. The ID folks have set up templates and sent them to various researchers in India (social workers, architects, and MBAs, all new to observational research) with instructions to gather information in the slums of Mumbai."
Can you distribute research? I heard that at least some user research for US companies is done by Indian companies. Outsourcing UX?
