Author Description

This case considers two quite different projects which helped to examine the potential 'walking interviews' might have to illuminate and enhance the research experience. Although experiences from our everyday lives, and a good deal of geographical scholarship, show us that where we are shapes how we act, behave and speak, the 'place' of the interview itself has, historically, been under-recognised and under-considered within methodological discussions. Our projects sought to get `into the field' in a less metaphorical and much more literal sense by undertaking interviews while walking with our interviewees.
