Mundane Methods by Helen Holmes

Mundane Methods by Helen Holmes

Mundane Methods is an innovative and original collection which will make a distinctive methodological and empirical contribution to research on the everyday. Bringing together a range of interdisciplinary approaches it provides a practical, hands-on approach for scholars interested in studying the mundane and exploring its potential. Divided into three key themes this volume explores methods for studying: materials and memories, emotions and senses, and mobilities and motion; with encounters, relationships, practices, spaces, temporalities and imaginaries cross-cutting throughout. In doing so, it draws on the work of a range of established and up-and-coming scholars researching the everyday, including human geographers, sociologists, anthropologists, urban planners, cartographers, and fashion historians. With empirical examples, practical tips, ethical considerations, and exercises.

'This edited collection is transformative as a robust methodological toolkit for researchers seeking to clarify and demystify the ‘everyday’[...] A collection that wonderfully demonstrates that innovation and versatility are key for inspiring the sociological imagination.'
Kevin Judge, University of Stirling, The Sociological Review Magazine
