This book presents 21 research papers on the exploration of social space and addresses (1) the relationship between theory and methods, (2) the concrete methodological implementation of a research project, and (3) the necessary reflections regarding geographical action. Geographical thinking and research are characterized by pluralism in paradigms and methods. While both enrich geography, they also pose significant challenges for students and doctoral candidates, as a universally applicable theory and generalizing method cannot be applied to the multitude of research questions. Questions such as "Which social spatial practices can be analyzed with which theory and method?", "How can research logic and appropriateness of the subject be ensured?", and "What quality criteria guarantee good research?" are central themes.
