Özet
There comes a moment in any field of inquiry when the inherited tools are no longer fit for purpose as they either fail to answer the questions asked or they provide us only partial guidance. We believe this volume is one record of such a moment. The chapters gathered here were written under conditions that earlier generations of social scientists would have struggled to recognise: a global climate crisis, human mobility and displacement moving faster than the policies governing it, technologically deployed platforms that mediate labour and meaning before researchers can name what is happening, and institutions that continue to produce inequality even as they publish ever more sophisticated accounts of it. Each chapter is an answer, partial and provisional, to the question of what methodological tools can offer to navigate these wicked challenges. Considered as a whole, the chapters offer something more than methodological tips. They are a testament: a record of what a generation of scholars, working in very different contexts, have come to believe about how research on global challenges should be carried out, and what is excluded from scope and as such refused.
