Place in Research
Theory, Methodology, and Methods
By Marcia McKenzie, Eve Tuck
To Be Published July 1st 2013 by Routledge – 144 pages
Description
Bringing environmental studies and indigenous studies into dialog, and drawing on geography and post-colonial theory, this volume examines the epistemological role of place in social science research. It explores how researchers around the globe are coming to terms - both theoretically and practically - with place in the context of empire and globalization. McKenzie and Tuck outline a method of "critical place inquiry" that not only furthers empirical knowledge, but also interrogates its relation to the contexts in which that knowledge is produced.
