Dear Kip
I haven't forgotten and am doing my best to get you the material by
the day after tomorrow, but I need this weekend to finish.
I so regretted that I could not escape other pressures to attend your
sessions last week and know that I should be with you today,
especially Seminar 10, part of your Representation of Older People in
Ageing Research, which would be really useful to me- but I have to be
at rehearsal in one hour's time at the LSO for another of my
projects, and as usual I am spreading myself too thinly. I would be
very grateful for any conclusions reached on the ethics of using
photographs. i have my own views, but I am obviously interested in
what others think and feel. And of course visual imagery to
disseminate research findings as well as technologies and services is
very important. It's really tragic I couldn't be with you today.
Yours
Camilla

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 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.
