VISUAL METHODS IN GERONTOLOGICAL RESEARCH
A one-day seminar hosted jointly by the Centre for
Ageing and Biographical Studies, The Open University
and the Centre for Policy on Ageing on Friday, 30
November 2007, 10.00-4.00 at the Centre for Policy on
Ageing, 19-23 Ironmonger Row, London EC1V 3QP.
Seminar 10 in the Representation of Older People in
Ageing Research series is an introduction to the use
of visual methods and visual sources in social
gerontology. How have researchers used photography,
film and paintings to understand later life? What
kinds of ethical challenges does the use of
photographic methods raise? What do pictorial images
contribute to our understanding of history and
historiography? How can visual imagery be used to
disseminate research findings and develop new
services, designs and technologies for older people?
These are just some of the questions this seminar will
explore.
