Sex lives and audiotape: Geography, sexuality and undergraduate dissertations

Abstract

Abstract The dissertation is commonly the largest piece of work conducted by UK geography undergraduates. There has been an increase in dissertations on topics grouped under the heading ‘sexual geographies’. This paper addresses some of the practicalities in doing a dissertation on sexual geographies, from choosing a topic to selecting a relevant methodological framework. It also draws attention to issues in the ethics of independent research in this area.
