Book synopsis

For researchers and practitioners alike, this book provides engaging perspectives on the varied role of a researcher in the field. Drawing upon a dialogue both intergenerational and international in scope, the theories and concepts presented contextualize key aspects of developmental field work and introduce the often hidden practicalities of actually being in the field. Transcribed interviews with established authorities and personal field notes written by emerging researchers showcase not only concrete examples of what happens during field work, but also focused and relevant advice that gives genuine insight into what to expect and how to navigate complex interactions, like working with vulnerable groups or managing risk in the field. Accessible and diverse in nature, these contributions will help other researchers document and navigate their own projects with confidence. Whether you are figuratively or literally lost in the woods, this book offers a complete guide to conducting and contextualizing research in the field.
