Reviews / Votes
"This book advances a compelling argument for taking the situatedness of the researcher seriously. The ensuing reflections are not only sophisticated and innovative but also, and perhaps more importantly, of direct practical use for scholars who conduct interviews and other field-based research." (Roland Bleiker, Professor of International Relations, University of Queensland, Australia)"Situated Research Methodology provides a theoretical and practical guide to understanding, and dealing with, situatedness in field research. Laced with useful examples and easy to read, this book is a must-have for those embarking on, or reflecting on, field research." (Laura Sjoberg, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Florida, USA)
"All research is situated. In engaging prose and with fresh insights, the authors invite us to reflect systematically on the challenges of situatedness in the research process. A must read for any scholar serious about field research."(Ann Towns, Associate Professor in Political Science and Wallenberg Academy Fellow, University of Gothenburg, Sweden)
