Questions about change in social and personal life are a feature of
many accounts of the contemporary world. While theories of social
change abound, discussions about how to research it are much less
common. This book provides a timely guide to qualitative
methodologies that investigate processes of personal, generational
and historical change. The authors showcase a range of methods that
explore temporality and the dynamic relations between past, present
and future. Through case studies, they review six methodological
traditions: memory-work, oral/life history, qualitative
longitudinal research, ethnography, intergenerational and follow-up
studies. It illustrates how these research approaches are
translated into research projects and considers the practical as
well as the theoretical and ethical challenges they pose. Research
methods are also the product of times and places, and this book
keeps to the fore the cultural and historical context in which
these methods developed, the theoretical traditions on which they
draw, and the empirical questions they address. Researching Social
Change is an invaluable resource for researchers and graduate
students across the social sciences who are interested in
understanding and researching social change.
