Fieldwork is a hallmark of geographical scholarship, encompassing
all the approaches by which we learn first-hand about the world.
Too often, though, fieldwork details-the challenges, the failures,
and methodological mash-up used-are left out of geographers'
published work. This accessible collection brings together 18 of
those too-often overlooked stories, and reveals the ongoing
vibrancy of geographical fieldwork today. The 32 authors span many
of geography's subfields, and their work incorporates multiple
methodological traditions: ethnographic, digital, archival, mixed,
and more. With short, readable contributions, Geographical
Fieldwork in the 21st Century offers an ideal resource for students
across the social sciences who are wrangling with the process of
fieldwork. It shows fieldwork's core attributes-innovation,
commitment, and serendipity-are alive and well. But this collection
also illustrates just how fieldwork is changing as our ability to
learn about the world is shaped by new pressures of the 21st
century neoliberal academy, by the proliferation of new
technologies, and by the growing social demand for collaborative,
engaged, and ethical scholarship. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal Geographical
Review.
