Working from foundational questions relating to the need for and importance of field-research, where the ‘field’ is, through logistical and practical considerations, to complex debates around equality and diversity, power relations, sustainability and ethical conundrums, this book is not a simple, formulaic ‘how to’ guide. Instead, the handbook offers a more critical and reflective approach - acting more as a ‘how to start to think critically about’ text. In providing a comprehensive and cutting-edge overview of key debates and considerations in the planning, doing and wrapping-up of field research, the handbook shares examples of and reflections from experienced field researchers and field class leaders as well as scenarios, debates and critical questions to help guide field researchers through their research journey.
