Abstract
This paper highlights mobility as a methods paradigm by reviewing mobile methods from a theoretical and empirical perspective, i.e., adopted for a study focused on socio-spatial mobilities of urban marginalised women (UMW) in peri-urban areas of New Delhi, India. The article discusses the approach and design of mobile methods for this case study, including mobile ethnography using new technologies like GPS. We highlight that mobile methods enable the study of significant elements like scale and everyday mobilities. We discuss the challenges and opportunities for researchers that come with the use new technologies within mobile methods. By doing so we highlight the significance of using mobile methods to explore new research techniques that present a holistic perspective towards understanding mobility.
