Vital Signs 2: Engaging Research Imaginations
The 2nd International Interdisciplinary Conference
7-9th September 2010
University of Manchester, UK
Organised by: Realities, part of the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods
Keynote speakers:

Gillian Rose (Geography, Open University)
Jennifer Mason (Sociology, University of Manchester)
How can we engage our research imaginations and rise to the challenge
of generating knowledge that is vital and resonates with complex and
multi-dimensional lived realities? Vital Signs 2 will provide a major
forum for lively and engaged discussion of these issues. Abstracts are
invited in the following kinds of areas. These are intended to inspire
the imagination, and should not be seen as prescriptive.
Approaches to researching nature, culture, the material and the social
Researching visual, auditory, tactile and other sensory realms
Researching in/tangibility, intersubjectivity, memory, feelings
Bridging different disciplines in understanding real life; for
example, combining ‘social science’, ‘science’, ‘art’, ‘literature’,
‘history’, ‘policy’ and ‘journalism’
Crossover, hybrid and mixed methods in real life research
Authenticity, rigour, rhetoric and imagination. What counts as
‘evidence’? How is knowledge about real lives constituted,
substantiated and made believable?
Using different ‘registers’, modes and media to represent and
communicate knowledge
Thinking and theorizing with real life data
Real life research ethics, moralities and politics
Deadline for abstracts: 9.30am, Monday 15th March 2010.
