N2 - What makes or breaks interdisciplinary collaborations is how well a team can work together. In this chapter, we focus on the work that is behind teamwork. We explain what ‘doing’ interdisciplinary teamwork entails by drawing parallels with the subject of our research: ‘doing’ family. We draw our examples from the transnational child raising arrangements projects (tcra and tcraf-eu), investigating how transnational migrant families ‘do family’ when their members are separated by great geographical distances. Families are not just people related by blood ties or marriage but are defined and held together through the ‘work’ of commitments and obligations consisting of communication, trust, and emotional work. This chapter draws on these elements—communication, trust, and emotions—to unpack the work involved in ‘doing’ teamwork. Teamwork in interdisciplinary research has been discussed but not often in terms of the personal and emotional work that it entails.keywordsinterdisciplinary teamworkemotional workcollaborationcommunicationtrust.
