Visual Methods: An Interdisciplinary Exploration Friday, 2 May 2014, 09:45 - 15 :30 CMR01, The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes This workshop is organised by Professor Elizabeth Silva and Dr Mark Smith Speakers include: Dr Nirmal Puwar, Dr Chris High, Dr Claudia Aradau and Professor Gillian Rose Summary: A number of disciplines make use of visual materials - images, drawings, videos, sensory stimuli - in research investigations. These include sociology, geography, anthropology, politics and psychology. There is a rich literature on practical and methodological issues in these disciplines, and in others, and the interest in visually-oriented research projects is on the rise. This day workshop brings together experienced researchers in a variety of Social Science disciplines to share their experience of using visual methods. This advanced methods workshop is highly relevant to postgraduate students who are starting out on their journey. It is also relevant to those who have already used visual methods and want to compare and contrast their experience with visual methods researchers in other disciplines. A hands on workshop on participatory video is also planned during the day.
