Visual Ethnography Methods Training
This 3-day workshop supports PhD students at early as well as advanced stages of their ethnographic research.
Early stages:
The workshop will introduce students to practical elements of visual ethnography. Students will be introduced to
- the basics of observational fieldwork, and then undertake a practical fieldwork exercise.
The workshop will give students opportunity to
- directly use ethnographic methods, actively reflect on this activity, and consider the application of these methods in their PhD projects.
Advanced stages:
The workshop will support students in evaluating data gathered from ethnographic fieldwork through discussing
- Organising and evaluating data, comparing, relating, contextualising.
- Mixed methods as a form of dialectical pluralism where dichotomy of research methods functions as a practical path towards understanding multiple perspectives
- Coding and identifying themes, building towards multivocal and multifocal outcomes.
- Output formats and dissemination paths, restituting knowledge to participants and communities
