This book focuses on one of the most useful perspectives in social sciences: the lifecourse. It offers a distinctive approach to the topic, aiming to truly cover the whole of the lifecourse, focusing on innovative methods and case studies from Europe and North America to connect theory and practice across the social sciences. Featuring methods that are linked to questions of time, space, and mobilities, it offers both rich methodologies and practical details for those working in the social sciences as researchers or practitioners.

Recenzii

"This edited volume clearly contributes to the debate on the role of time, space, and mobility at different stages of the lifecourse and promises to be of great interest for social science researchers across the various disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, geography, and demography."

“Clearly and engagingly written, this collection illustrates and reflects on diverse methodologies for enriching lifecourse studies. It is a major resource for researchers across the social sciences.”

“A highly provocative and engaging work, raising questions about the epistemology of lifecourse research across themes of time, space, and mobilities.”
