Abstract
Drawing on and contributing to a wide interest in walking across the creative arts, humanities and social sciences, the sociologists and writers in this collection put on their boots and take to the streets to craft their work in lively, mobile and sensuous ways. Together, their work explores the significance of studying social life on foot, and shows what can be gained from thinking on the move. Interweaving key sociological ideas with walking concepts and methods, the collection opens new possibilities for both learning about and representing social life. By going for a walk, each essay develops an openness to the world around us and cultivates new ways of writing about people and places. At the same time, the book offers a distinctively sociological perspective. Each unique walk is an encounter with key sociological ideas, showing that sociology is for everyone and can be found everywhere, even in the most unexpected places.
