Aimed at final year undergraduate students, postgraduates, and early career researchers, this book provides a useful critical overview of the experiential nature of conducting fieldwork in a variety of social, political, cultural, geographical and institutional settings. The authors draw on academic accounts of fieldwork from a selection of fields of study, including anthropology, organisational studies, human geography, sociology and development studies.
Being in the Field will equip researchers with the sophisticated epistemological and ontological skills that are needed to adapt to the many problems and challenges encountered during the course of fieldwork. The book will also help those new to research to develop confidence and critical thinking skills, and use these to adapt their fieldwork in response to theoretical problems and practical obstacles.
Marsha Henry and Suruchi Thapar-Björkert give students an invaluable insight into the process of conducting research.

At no point in recorded history has there been an absence of intense, and heated, discussion about the subject of how to conduct relations between women and men. This Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to these omnipresent issues and debates, mapping the present and future of thinking about feminist theory.
The chapters gathered here present the state of the art in scholarship in the field, covering:
Epistemology and marginality Literary, visual and cultural representations Sexuality Macro and microeconomics of gender Conflict and peace. The most important consensus in this volume is that a central organizing tenet of feminism is its willingness to examine the ways in which gender and relations between women and men have been (and are) organized. The authors bring a shared commitment to the critical appraisal of gender relations, as well as a recognition that to think ‘theoretically’ is not to detach concerns from lived experience but to extend the possibilities of understanding. With this focus on theory and theorizing about the world in which we live, this Handbook asks us, across all disciplines and situations, to abandon our taken-for-granted assumptions about the world and interrogate both the origin and the implications of our ideas about gender relations and feminism. It is an essential reference work for advanced students and academics not only of feminist theory, but of gender and sexuality across the humanities and social sciences.600 kr
