| Description: | This book aims to specifically address the uses and roles of qualitative research in cities, including carefully selected and edited readings that cover participant observation, interviewing, narrative analysis, visual and sensory methods, and methods for (re)presenting the city. The book also features short original essays from key authors, and introductions from the editors. Researching City Life: An Urban Field Methods Text-Reader examines the city from a street level perspective and provides readers with tools to conduct research on urbanism—the everyday experiences of people in cities. Contending that culture is central to understanding urbanism, editors Tyler Schafer and Michael Ian Borer address qualitative research in cities and how it provides insights unable to be captured via quantitative methods. Carefully selected and edited readings cover participant observation, interviewing, narrative analysis, visual and sensory methods, and methods for (re)presenting the city. Each section includes an introduction from the editors, a Reflection Essay from one of the authors, and exercises that prompt hands-on experience. |
