• Precarious work and precarious workers: Towards an improved conceptualisation (2016, methodology): “This example conforms to methodological advice about the value of developing theory through reflection on ‘theory-relevant’ or ‘theory-useful’ cases (Burawoy, 2009; Eisenhardt, 2002).”
• Special Economic Zones and Accumulation by Dispossession in India (2011, background): “Rajpura is a crucible in which a ‘great transformation’ of Indian society through land dispossession and commodification can be seen in the micro-processes of village life (Burawoy 2009).”
• Social Capital as Obstacle to Development: Brokering Land, Norms, and Trust in Rural India (2015, methodology): “Methodologically, this research employs the extended case method (Burawoy, 2009), which seeks to reconstruct theory—in this instance, social capital—through the prolonged ethnographic study of strategically chosen cases.”
