Developing Theory & Practice in Visual Methodologies

Tuesday, 26 June / Wednesday, 27 June 2012 | Research Beehive, Old Library Building, Newcastle University

Visual methodologies, which encompasses techniques such as mapping, story boarding and infographics, are an important and growing area of social science research. This two-day advanced workshop will equip postgraduate doctoral students with a critical understanding of how to best use visual methods in their research and develop the theory and practice of visual methodologies. 

The workshop will:

• Provide an overview of visual research methodologies and its core skills and techniques;
• Consider the role of visual methods in data collection, research ethics, synthesis, analysis and dissemination;
• Explore the theoretical prospectives, epistemological traditions and latest practices that have shaped the development of visual methodologies; and
• Enable participants to translate how visual methodologies can be used to support their own research.
