In this beautifully curated book, contributors from various social science disciplines—sociology, anthropology, education, psychology, etc.—explore different facets of a basic component of human life, love. . . . Audiences who are interested in the emotional and affective aspects of human life will find this book inspiring. It will also draw attention from social research methodologists who are searching for alternative research paradigms other than the predominant post-positivist approach.

Lucinda Carspecken has brilliantly gathered a collection of ethnographers who take readers on an intimate scholarly journey in Love in the Time of Ethnography. She extends to us a different approach to ethnography that is not found elsewhere. This unique approach to social research centers on love—where love is simultaneously epistemological, ontological, axiological and topical as it is woven through every aspect of the scholarship. It hinges upon—and is the hinge that—makes the scholarly work (of the world) move.
