Drawing has had a place in social research for a long time, especially in anthropology as field note taking, but also more specifically and recently in arts-based research and visual studies.
Social research on drawings is a well-established method in a variety of related areas from psycho-social research with children to market research.
However, Monica will examine research with drawings, where both the artefact and the practice of drawing are a constitutive part of the production of knowledge being sought, often in collaboration with research participants, is rarer.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in participatory research; practice as research; arts-based research and sociology.
Practice as research seminar series
The seminar is part of this series. The series aims to bring together the many different strands of practice-led/based research across all disciplines so as to not be limited by disciplinary conventions, but instead to benefit from cross-disciplinary fertilisation.
