Literary Methods in the Social Sciences
About the Book Series
In the context of a rise of archival, auto/biographical and diary methods in the social sciences, this series addresses the transferability, consistency and validity of these methodological approaches.

Projects for the series are encouraged that address:

- blogs and other digital platforms
- diaries and journals
- documents based research
- epistolary research and the use of letters
- narrative research
- social media platforms
