Synopsis:

First published Open Access under a Creative Commons license as What are Community Studies?, this title is now also available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series.

In the age of globalization and the changing welfare state, community relations are now more important than ever. This book gives an overview of the community studies field, with particular focus on the research methods used, and how they have evolved in recent years. Defining the key terms in the field, it outlines the history of the methods used in community studies and uses examples and case studies to illuminate the theory.

This book captures the organization of modern community life and shows how current researchers are working with broader and more imaginative definitions of community. Responding to criticisms of the field, Graham Crow challenges our traditional notions of communities and how they are analysed. Graham Crow's text will be a vital resource to researchers in the field.

About the Authors: Graham Crow is Professor of Sociology and Methodology at the University of Edinburgh and Co-Investigator of the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods.

Jessica Nina Lester is Associate Professor of Inquiry Methodology in the School of Education at Indiana University, USA.
