Footing it, or why I walk

Newhouse, Leonie S.

Abstract

Often, before we, as researchers, set foot in the field, we have planned out in detail the ways in which we will go about our work – theoretically informed research methods have been carefully chosen, and plans for entry into the field are well made. But what about how we actually move in the field? Certainly, the logistics of arriving at our chosen site are seen to, but how can our daily mode of transportation – be it our feet, a bicycle, taxi or Land Rover – impact our research? Because sometimes footing it is the only option, I here explore the politics of walking in the field.
