Another key area of my research concerns ‘Methodology & Place’, more particularly the innovative use of qualitative methodology. Adopting ethnographic and (auto)ethnographic approaches, alongside more conventional semi-structured interviews, life histories, and field diaries, I have explored the agency of place through methodology, but also the difference that place can make to methodology.
