Abstract
IB scholars are increasingly interested in time, temporality and context to provide richer explanations and increase our understanding of IB phenomena. These IB phenomena are deeply embedded in their temporal context. While there has been calls for more contextual research, there is little research addressing the challenges of including time-sensitive context in the research design. This research highlights the multi-temporality of the IB research in by defining the temporality of the phenomenon, the informants and the researcher(s). The authors provide a framework that enables to capture the temporality in research leading to more robust, rigorous and time sensitive IB research.
