Seminar in Visual Ethnographic Methodology

Catalog description

This course focuses on the potential and the qualities of visual data collection in research and will start with a review of the diversity of research strategies and ethics that incorporate visual data. We will discuss different ways of using visual methods in research alongside epistemological theory of understanding what it means to look at the world. We will use our own experiences of looking and feeling to consider what visual methods can contribute to effective ethnographic research. Students must be graduate students to enroll.
