This text critically locates development research within the field
of international development to give an accessible and
comprehensive introduction to development research methods.
Research and Fieldwork in Development explores both traditional
and cutting edge research methods, from interviews and ethnography
to spatial data and digital methods. Each chapter provides the
reader with an understanding of the theoretical basis of research
methods, reflects upon their practice and outlines appropriate
analysis techniques. The text also provides a cutting edge focus on
the role of new media and technologies in conducting research. The
final chapters return to a set of broader concerns in development
research, providing a new and dynamic set of engagements with
ethics and risk in fieldwork, integrating methods and engaging
development research methods with knowledge exchange practices.
Each chapter is supported by several case studies written by global
experts within the field, documenting encounters and experiences
and linking theory to practice. Each chapter is also complimented
by an end of chapter summary, suggestions for further reading and
websites, and questions for further reflection and practice.
This book provides an invaluable overview to the practice of
international development research and serves as an essential
resource for undergraduate and postgraduate student embarking of
development fieldwork. It is supported by online resources
including extended bibliographies for each chapter, example risk
and ethic forms, example policy briefing notes, research reports,
links to websites and data sources.
