This Handbook provides an accessible overview of the different methods, approaches and theories which can be used to enrich labour law research. Drawing on cutting-edge research projects, leading scholars present insights and reflections on the past, present and future of labour law scholarship.

Canvassing theory, as well as legal, qualitative and quantitative methods, this engaging Handbook draws on international perspectives to explore how labour law research methods vary across jurisdictions. The Handbook considers the use of ethnography, multilingual research with EU migrant workers, Indigenous research methodologies and surveys to accumulate data. Featuring chapters on feminist critique, vulnerability theory, industrial relations, economic analysis, anthropology and socialist labour law, it puts forward an integrated approach to framing and developing labour law research projects.

Research Methods in Labour Law is an essential resource for postgraduate and PhD students, early career academics and senior scholars looking for legal methodological inspiration. It is particularly useful for those in the fields of labour and employment law, research methods in law, and socio-legal research.
