Description:
PLEASE NOTE THIS COURSE IS POSTPONED - DATE TO BE AGREED
The training is designed to introduce researchers and PGRs to using drawing methodologies in qualitative research (which has a fieldwork element) and give them practical experience of doing so. It will provide an overview of the use of drawing in social sciences in the core aspects of carrying out a research project: project design, fieldwork, analysis and representation. In addition to presentations from the convenors, who have both used drawing-based methods, the two-day training session will include many practical group drawing exercises, with opportunities for discussion and reflection. Participants will conduct mini research projects based on a research question. The workshop will end with a group exhibition of drawings representing their findings. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the potential uses of drawing in their current and potential research projects, including how to navigate ethics across the life-course of any project.
Course Contents:
- Theory and practice in using drawing as method in qualitative research involving fieldwork
- Participants will develop their own mini-projects during the course based on participant observation in and around the venue
- Group reflections and feedback on current and future projects will also be included
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the two sessions participants will:
- Be familiar with the possibilities afforded by drawing in research at all stages of the research process (design, fieldwork, analysis)
- Have experience of engaging in drawing based ‘seeing’ in a live context, and have experience of a group analysis session using drawing
- Be able to visualise and re-present their research project in drawn form
- Feel able to consider drawing as a methodological strand in their current or potential research
