Über diesen Titel

Críticas

Ideal as an introduction to the main strands of methods that are used in food studies (...) Several sections within this book will almost certainly constitute required reading for final year undergraduate students (...) Similary, it will be extremely useful for first year postgraduates embarking on Masters or PhD research. Joseph Burridge for Revue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement

Reseña del editor

This title is a guide to doing research in the burgeoning field of food studies. Designed for the classroom as well as for the independent scholar, the book details the predominant research methods in the field, provides a series of interactive questions and templates to help guide a project, and includes suggestions for food-specific resources such as archives, libraries and reference works. Interviews with leading scholars in the field and discussions of how the study of food can enhance traditional methods are included.

Food Studies: An Introduction to Research Methods begins with an overview of food studies and research methods followed by a guide to the literature. Four methodological "baskets" representing the major methodologies of the field are explored together with interviews from leading scholars in: food history (Ken Albala); ethnographic methods (Carole Counihan); material culture and media studies (Psyche Williams-Forson); and quantitative methods (Jeffery Sobal). The book concludes with chapters on research ethics, including working with human subjects, and technology tools for research.
