Live Methods was partly responding to the ‘crisis in empirical sociology’. Writing this special issue we were in another crisis- the brutal destruction of the social sciences– inc Goldsmiths, the intellectual home of the collection. It makes Live Methods, its spirit and aims more important than ever
