Abstract

' Written with conviction and good humour, Doing Cultural Geography is a hands-on guide that students will love, taking them through the various stages of selecting a topic, drawing on different theoretical frameworks to ask rigorous research questions, choosing appropriate methods, putting them into practice, interpreting the results and writing them up.. [The book] is an invitation to take the insights of cultural geography beyond the classroom and to use of experience of everyday life to enrich the research process. It is an invitation that readers will find hard to resist' - Professor Peter Jackson, University of Sheffield. This introduction to cultural geography integrates theoretical discussion with applied examples. The book emphasizes what can be done with humanist, Marxist, post-structuralist, feminist, and post-colonial theory, prompting students to engage with the otherwise daunting theoretical literature. It is intercut with questions, suggestions for activities and short sample extracts from scholarly texts, and will be essential reading for students in modules in cultural geography and foundation courses in human geography and theory and methods.
