Visual Evidence
International Seminar Series 2000 - 2001
Seminar One: Mapping the Field
St. Anthony's College
Oxford
11-12 December 2000
Organised by The Pavis Centre of the Open University
The Visual is a major growth point in social science and cultural
studies. This international, inter-disciplinary series of seminars is a
unique opportunity to participate in developing and refining image-based
research in an evolving field.
The seminar series will interest a wide range of researchers, from
anthropology, sociology, cultural and media studies, visual
communication, photography, film, and multi-media, history and sociology
of art, as well as those in the museum world and in applied fields such
as photojournalism and documentary film.
The series of three two-day seminars is funded by the ESRC, and provides
a platform for identifying keys issues, points of difference and debate
and emerging trends.
The objectives of the series are:
• to provide an international forum for the future development of visual
evidence in qualitative research in all its various forms and varieties
• to promote constructive debate on problematic issues of a visual
nature that are common across disciplines and approaches
• to initiate a network among researchers, scholars and postgraduate
students, and to establish a dialogue with non-academic users concerning
the role and use of images in social and cultural research
