There are many posts at the moment about moving qualitative research online, but this does not always work for some marginalised groups, for example those without access to computers or computing skills. One method may be going out walking with people. Tula Brannelly and Ruth Bartlett used this methodology in a project about GPS technologies with people with dementia and in their new paper argue that it enabled greater participation and positioned people with dementia as guides in the research. And yes, it was throughout the winter in England!
