With case studies from around the world, this accessible book explores the methodological complexities of research into voluntary action, charitable behaviour and participation in voluntary organisations.
The first book of its kind, this volume brings together a range of experts to review key methodological issues in the study of voluntary action, charitable behaviour and participation in voluntary organisations.





Using case studies from around the world – from ethnography to media analysis and surveys to peer research – chapters illustrate the challenges of researching altruistic actions and our conceptualisations of them. Across different fields and methods, authors unpick the methodological innovations and challenges in their own research to help guide future study.





Demystifying research and deepening our ability to understand the role of the third sector, this accessible book is suitable for social researchers at all levels.

Jon Dean is Associate Professor of Politics and Sociology at Sheffield Hallam University. His research examines inequalities within the charity sector and charity’s role in wider society and culture. Eddy Hogg is Senior Lecturer in Social Policy at the University of Kent. His research focuses on volunteering, particularly the role of voluntary action in the delivery of public services.
