Research process seminar. Art as Access: Creative Methods for Researching Sensitive Topics. 4th November 2-3pm on Zoom

You are warmly welcomed to the next research process seminar. Hosted by The Media School at Bournemouth University but open to all.

 

Art as Access: Creative Methods for Researching Sensitive Topics

In this talk, Dr. Mendes will share insights into the use of arts-based methods for researching sensitive and sometimes ‘unspeakable’ experiences. The talk will introduce arts-based methods and share ways that they can be successfully integrated into research. The talk emphasizes how useful these methods are in getting people to open up and gives them ways to share experiences beyond words. This ensures that a wider variety of folks can take part (introverts, those with developmental disabilities, and those for whom English is an additional language)

 

The speaker

Dr. Kaitlynn Mendes is a Full Professor of Sociology and holds the Canada Research Chair in Inequality and Gender at Western University, Canada. She is an expert on rape culture and the ways digital technologies have been used to challenge and facilitate sexual violence. She is PI on the SSHRC funded project DIY: Digital Safety and Director of the GEMS Research Lab.
