An ethnographic investigation into the culture and people of the UK free party (illegal rave) scene in the twenty first century

Marianne L. Keeler

pp. 161-169

This study first reviewed the existing literature, used this to inform and shape the development of a framework for a primary research project, which collected both quantitative and qualitative data from a cohort of almost 500 respondents, and undertook an initial analysis of the data acquired. This framework had to find ways to acquire the highest quality data, from a cohort notoriously difficult to access, whilst building in safeguards and mechanisms to protect both researcher and interlocutors. The methodologies employed have begun to shape a new framework for future work with countercultural communities.
