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
