This interactive workshop will introduce participants to a variety of visual methods suitable for inter- and cross-disciplinary study. As an inherently porous field, visual studies, and the various methodologies taken up by it, are powerful mechanisms for asking sociological, anthropological, and artistic questions toward visualizing the human experience/condition.

Together, we will explore various participatory methodologies such as visual ethnography, photovoice, mapping, collage/zine-making, film, and digital storytelling. Participants will be given the opportunity to create their own concept map, applying their learning in the workshop to their own projects/inquiries.

This is an event hosted by the Visual Methods Studio, a working group sponsored by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture.
