Workshop: Visual Methods in challenging times…. 17 September, 3pm
Visual Methods: Social Research broaching distance in challenging times (NEW)
Thursday 17 September, 3:00 – 4:30pm AEST via Zoom
At a time when most of us are coming to terms with the need to think in new ways about how we approach social research, the People, Place, Heritage stream invites you to a panel featuring researchers conducting innovative projects using a variety of visual methods. The panel will discuss methods for working with visual materials and social networking platforms in relation to compelling social situations. Presenters will share methodological back stories to research publications via a series of case studies. Participants will read three research papers in advance and come along keen to engage in discussion about how we can creatively broach distance between our locked-down selves and the settings in which we usually conduct research.
