At a time of intense theoretical debates in urban studies, the
research practices underlying such theories have not received the
same attention. This original and creative text interrogates the
methodological underpinnings of contemporary urban scholarship,
with reference to different global sites and situations, as well as
to recent debates around postcolonial, planetary, and
provincialized urban theories. Rather than reducing methodological
questions to a matter of tools and techniques, it unearths the
complex connections between theory, research design, empirical
work, expositional style, and normative-ethical commitments.
Innovatively co-produced by faculty and graduate students from a
variety of disciplines, Urban Studies Inside-Out it is comprised of
three parts. Part I: An introduction to the field of urban studies
and its changing theories, methodological norms and practices. Part
II: Features a collection of methodological essays co-authored by
graduate students, deconstructing the research designs, the
methodological practices, and the modes of presentation and
representation across recent urban monographs. Part III: Consists
of informative keyword primers which explicate the key concepts and
formulations in the field of urban studies. This volume offers a
welcome intervention within urban studies, and stands to make a
valuable contribution for graduate students and researchers.
