Description	Visual images have become ubiquitous in contemporary culture and at the same time there has been a move towards creative methodologies in critical social science research. This workshop will explore the visual image in mediated forms and its use as a tool of qualitative inquiry and dissemination. The opportunities and limitations of participatory approaches will be considered and the workshop will introduce a number of techniques of creative data production including drawing, collage, sandboxing, emotion stickers, photoelicitation, artefacts and plasticine modelling; and provide opportunities to engage in hands on experiential data sessions. There will be an engagement with the ways in which images are read and created, and the ethical implications of researching with the visual. Discourses of impact, dissemination and engagement will also be considered in relation to artwork, film, magazine and music, as ways to move beyond the standard academic article and reach wider and more diverse audiences with research findings and recommendations. The presentation of the material will set out current debates in visual, social and cultural studies and the related activities will invite you to interrogate the usefulness of creative approaches and explore how they could be applied in your own analysis, data production and dissemination activities.
