Doing Research within Communities provides an invaluable resource for early career researchers and graduate students new to researching within communities.

Providing practical guidance and support for engaging with a community as a research site, it covers both theoretical and practical issues. Through personal stories of field research, it offers advice and guidance through example rather than through instruction, enabling the reader to discover connections with the storyteller, gaining insights into their own research journey and appreciating what they have in common with others.

Doing Research within Communities is essential reading for those undertaking researching within communities.
