Description: This four-day course introduces different perspectives and techniques in visual methods. It provides practical guidance for visual data collection, analysis and dissemination, which includes such techniques as working with various visual props, image analysis, annotated drawings, photo-elicitation, using first- and third-person video, among others. There will also be focused discussions of and feedback on students’ research projects, in relation to visual methods. As a whole the course makes the general argument that visual material can be used both as a powerful complement to traditional verbal and textual data, as well as a site of investigation in its own right.
