Description
Walking Methods Research on the Move by Maggie O'Neill and Brian Roberts introduces a new approach to social research through walking. This innovative method combines sensate and kinaesthetic experiences with lived experiences, journeys, and memories to facilitate connections with communities and identities. The book explores walking methods historically, sociologically, and in relation to biographical and arts-based research, as well as recent work on mobilities, the digital, spatial, and sensory. It presents a series of original ethnographic and participatory research examples, practical exercises, and a guide to using walking as a method. This book is a rich resource for social science researchers, students, walking artists, and biographical researchers, offering a unique perspective on how walking can be used to explore migration, memory, and urban landscapes.
