Subject: Re: Drawing as a research tool
Hi Nina,
my drawing research has been in the field of medical sciences since 2000. My research is based on the idea that drawing is a phenomenological activity that offers greater insight and understanding. My PhD, Delineating Disease examined the use of drawing to gain insight and new knowledge into a rare disease and to present the breadth of experiences of this disease.
You can see my thesis here http://shura.shu.ac.uk/3469/
My current research looks at the role of drawing to communicate understanding of healthcare issues in the context of the medical museum. I am particularly focusing on experiences of ageing, understood through drawing residents at a care home and objects associated with ageing. The research includes running investigative observation workshops. These examine how non artists come to know an object through the phenomenological activity of drawing.
Posts about my current research are updated here

I would like to collate a list of research areas in which DRN members are using drawing as a research tool rather than an end in itself. In other words, the desired end result is not the fine art itself, but something learned that contributes to the body of knowledge in another field.
Some DRN members have already mentioned using drawing in medical related research and I would be keen to hear of other examples from that or any other fields. I am planning a paper "
Techniques for evidencing research quality from architectural design practice" and would want to use such an anonymised list of research areas using drawing as a tool, as part of the case study section. The list could go into the file section of the DRN archive.
I thought I had asked this before but now cannot find it in the archives, so please forgive me if I am going back over old ground. Thanks!
