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
