Disembodied research erects false dichotomies between flesh and reason, and between the corporeal and the social. By contrast, Torkild Thanem and David Knights engage with approaches and practices that exploit the body's capacity to generate knowledge, craft lively accounts, and create fleshy concepts. These approaches enrich our understanding of how people live, work, and interact with their bodies within the social world. Thanem and Knights discuss methods, practices, and personal experiences which involve bodies in the research process - in generating and analysing empirical material, reflecting on the work they do as researchers, and turning research into written text. Embodied Research Methods is an important and practical resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students across the social sciences, and a thought-provoking read for researchers in these areas.
David Knights is Professor in the Department of Organization, Work and Technology at the Lancaster University Management School, UK. His recent empirical research has been on academics and veterinary surgeons and his theoretical interests are lie in the field of the body and ethics, gender and diversity, identity and power, and management and leadership. He recently co-edited a book: Mabey C and D. Knights, Leadership Matters?: Finding Voice, Connection and Meaning in the 21st Century, (New York: Routledge, 2017). He was a co-founder and co-editor of Gender, Work and Organization from 1994-2016.

This book will not only provoke its readers to think differently about embodiment. It will also get them to change the way they carry out their social investigations. -- Loic Wacquant This book is a pleasant experience for scientists who want to put feeling in their research [translated from dutch] -- Jillis Kors * Amsterdam University Press *
