Abstract
Chapter 7 contains a self-critical evaluation of the application of methods informed by Eugene Gendlin’s techniques within geographical research. Banfield identifies and discusses potential shortcomings in methodological choices and characterizes the research design itself in Gendlinian terms. On this basis, she constructively reframes two potentially conflicting aspects of the research design as complementary rather than contradictory, encouraging further investigation of and through such research designs. She also explores the implications for ongoing methodological innovation, both within and beyond non-representational geography, arising from this discussion and reinforces calls for individually tailored research designs. Through this critical evaluation, Banfield underlines the potential contribution that Gendlin’s work can make to geography.
