Description

"This is not yet another step-by-step guide to research methods.

Rather, Pole and Hillyard draw the reader into fieldwork as a form of living and lived research.

They take key threads of research practices and processes and weave them into a holistic approach to fieldwork.

Doing Fieldwork is a must read for new researchers planning a journey into the immersion of ′being there′ that is field work." - Professor Garry Marvin, University of Roehampton Fieldwork is central to Sociology, but guides to it often treat the real questions invisibly or over-load the reader with micro-details.

This refreshing, authoritative volume, written by two experienced, highly respected fieldworkers, provides a one-stop, engaging guide. The book: Clearly explains fieldwork methodsShows how to locate a field and map itCovers common problem areas and ethical considerationsProvides a ready reckoner of time management issuesHelps with analysis of findings. Doing Fieldwork is an invaluable teaching and research resource. It should be in every student’s backpack and part of every researcher’s tool kit. Professor Chris Pole is Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the University of Brighton. His long-standing research interests are in social research methodology, especially Ethnography and in the Sociology of Education and Childhood. Dr Sam Hillyard is a Reader in Sociology at Durham University.

Her research interests are in qualitative research methods, interactionist social theory and rural studies.
