Walking Through Social Research is a poignant collection of essays
that explores walking as immersion in city life. This rich and
compelling collection engages with issues of violence, speculation
and vulnerability, showing us how mis-steps, walk-alongs, air walks
and walking together reach and reveal urban complexities.
Suzanne Hall, Director of the Cities Programme, London School of
Economics and Political Science, UKBates and Rhys-Taylor offer an
exciting collection of essays that take us on a variety of walks
across a diversity of cities. This book is a timely contribution to
the field of urban studies as it offers multiple reasons of why the
practice of walking is essential to researching, knowing and
reflecting on urban life. The essays are a pure joy to read as they
offer a fine balance between theory, methods and empirical studies.
An inspiring and fascinating read.
