This exciting volume shows how students, and anyone else, can tap into the wealth of new technologies available today along with their own creativity to produce different kinds of research projects that account for a diverse and dynamic world. -- Russell Prince This collection does two main things. Firstly, it invigorates methodological discussion in Human Geography by bringing together an exciting range of new approaches which will inspire (as well as guide) students through their research adventures. Secondly, it provides an in depth revision of some more familiar methods, through exciting updates and empirical examples. -- Michael Joseph Richardson The title itself produces high expectations that are fully met. This book reflects the current debates about methods in geography in the context of cultural turn, postmodern identities, othering, positionality and research ethics, creatively implements them and promotes methodical innovation within the geographical application of methods. -- Jeannine Wintzer * Geographica Helvetica, the Swiss Journal of Geography *More details
