Abstract
The Streetwork project is a practical exercise in carrying out a qualitative study of people- in-place. It forms the core of our teaching in cultural geography at University College London (UCL). Forming part of a second year course, the project develops the initial exposure to qualitative fieldwork experienced during a first year field course. The nature and implementation of the project is described and the skills training involved in the course is outlined. The project has been taught in a number of different settings and student reaction indicates that it is a valuable exercise. However, a variety of problems have been raised in the course of teaching the project and the paper concludes with a discussion of these issues.
