Abstract

In psychology, qualitative research is increasingly adopting methodological approaches that consider the body, space, and situated experience. Methods based on mobility are fundamental for delving into the subjective aspects and social processes of human experience. This article presents an innovative method called Foodscape Walking, which combines walking with exploring food practices in urban areas. This technique allows us to examine how migrants conceptualize their identity trajectories through food, linking memory, emotion, and spatial dimensions. Food represents a bridge between the past and the present, and between origin and resettlement. We present the Foodscape Walking protocol step by step, highlighting its potential for capturing the interrelationship between cognitive, bodily, and social processes. We propose this technique as a valuable addition to the set of qualitative methodological tools in psychology, particularly for research focused on identity construction, place-making, and everyday practices in contexts of mobility and cultural transition. © 2025 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
