In Part II, authors critically appraise key methodological and theoretical challenges/opportunities that are shaping contemporary research in various parts of human geography. Contemporary directions within the discipline will be elaborated on by established and emerging researchers who are leading ontological debates and the adoption of innovative methods in geographic research. In Part III authors' take on debates that human geographers implicitly and explicitly engage with in their thinking around methodology and the practice of research. The chapters range across issues like the use of multiple methods versus mixed methods research or the growing application of thematic analysis in qualitative research in human geography and the methodological implications for the discipline. Contributors emphasize examples from their research and the research of others to reflect the fluid, emotional, and pragmatic realities of research. In this the handbook captures key developments and disciplinary influences emerging from the various sub-disciplines of human geography"--
