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. Presenting authored studies and edited collections, it welcomes volumes tackling the epistemological and methodological issues surrounding the use of ‘literary methods’ in the social sciences, whether through practical, ‘how to’ volumes or by way of studies that present and develop the deployment of such methods. 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
