| dc.description.abstract | Geographical research methods have been increasingly used in social sciences due to the interest inhow social behaviour and space are mutually constructed. However, there is still a limited number ofstudies dealing with the application of such methods, the variety of produced data, and fieldexperiences. In this paper, I reflect on fieldwork experiences of my doctoral research, whichinvestigated how gender and class dynamics shape women’s experiences of leisure at theneighbourhood level. During the eight-month fieldwork between 2014-2015, I used the methods ofthe walk and talk interviews, focus groups with mapping exercises and participant observation inleisure spaces of two differently-classed neighbourhoods in Bursa, Turkey. These methods provideparticipants with new possibilities of expression, beyond verbal communication capacities, allowingresearchers to think about questions that may not necessarily arise in traditional sit-in interviews.Therefore, this article concludes by suggesting that geographical methods can mirror the multilayeredand complex nature of gendered social relations | en_US |
