Emplaced Research

Emplaced Research explores the ontological and methodological implications of including aesthetic and spatial qualities in research. How do we position and attune ourselves to see the world as more-than-human? Building on the conversational aspects of space through emplaced interviews, complementary research methods such as sensory ethnography and photography offer a rich basis for spatial research. In addition to spatial inquiry, this chapter emphasizes the importance of maintaining a socio-material and participatory approach for data analysis. Looking at how spatial moments, emotions, and encounters are presented, the chapter concludes with tangible examples of research that manage to keep space at the forefront.
