Biography
Mark Holton is a human geographer who focuses on the social and cultural geographies of young people and youth culture. Mark has considerable experience in designing and utilising conventional and experimental qualitative techniques across a range of externally-funded research projects. This has resulted in a variety of methods-related outputs for leading academic journals (e.g. Area and Mobilities); chapters for academic reference titles (e.g. Handbook of Qualitative Research in Education and The SAGE Encyclopaedia of Higher Education); and online research methods guides (e.g. Oxford Bibliographies and SAGE Research Methods). Most recently, Mark co-edited Creative Methods for Human Geographers, a 29-chapter book that introduces, mainly novice, researchers to a range of creative approaches to research design.
