Adele McMahon, PhD student in the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, presented at the 9th International Visual Methods Conference (IVMC9), held in Istanbul. Her presentation, titled “Tell Me About a Photo You Would Have Liked to Have Taken but Couldn’t: Ethical Implications of a Photo Elicitation Study Exploring Young Parents’ Experience of the UK Child Protection System,” reflected on the ethical issues and challenges encountered during her research.
Presenting to an international audience of visual researchers offered a valuable opportunity to share insights and engage in meaningful dialogue. Adele was able to connect with fellow researchers and participate in rich discussions around the ethical complexity of visual methods, especially in contexts involving marginalised populations.
Adele is thankful to the IVMC9 organisers and attendees for creating such a thoughtful and stimulating conference environment and to Bournemouth University for facilitating her attendance.
