Description
Summary:Julia Bennett's PhD study of belonging in place took a phenomenological approach supported by a variety of qualitative methods: specifically narrative life history interviews, written and photo diaries and photo-elicitation interviews. Researching something as intangible as belonging is difficult and she wanted to evaluate the practices people undertake which demonstrate how they 'do' belonging, rather than asking about feelings of belonging. This case study explains how and why she made use of a phenomenological approach in researching the everyday. It then shows how the particular methods chosen fit with the use of a phenomenological methodology.
