Davies and Dwyer reflect on the links between qualitative methodologies, interpretative strategies, and movements away from ‘certainty’ as researchers begin to accept the ‘textured nature of the world’.

Blomley, N. (2008) ‘The spaces of critical geography’, Progress in Human Geography, 32(2): 285–93.

Blomley examines debates surrounding where critical geography is located – in the academy/publications or in the community/sites of activist struggle – arguing for the importance of the latter and collective forms of knowledge production.

Davies, G. and Dwyer, C. (2008) ‘Qualitative methods II: minding the gap’, Progress in Human Geography, 32(3): 399–406.
