This week’s research process seminar. Visual Politics and the Global South. 6th December at 2pm on Zoom

You are warmly welcomed to this week’s research process seminar. Hosted in FMC but open to all staff and research students

Visual Politics and the Global South – by Dr. Anastasia Veneti (BU) & Dr. Maria Rovisco

The discussion will build on those efforts by various scholars to de-westernise media and communication studies. By drawing on our forthcoming edited collection (Visual Politics in the Global South), we aim to discuss whether there is a distinctive global-south approach to the study of visual politics, as well as how the methodologies, theories and concepts mobilized by visual scholars from the Global South interact with those Northern approaches, concepts and methodologies that constitute the canon of visual politics research.

Research process seminar, Tuesday 15th Feb at 2pm on Zoom. Intersectional Methods of Visual Media Analysis

You are warmly welcomed to this week’s research process seminar. Hosted in FMC but welcome to all staff and research students. This week’s talk is truly interdisciplinary, and delivered by a former BU staff member, now at Loughborough University (Emma Pullen).

 

Intersectional Methods of Visual Media Analysis by Dr. Emma Pullen & Dr. Laura Mora  

 

Is intersectionality a method? How can we implement intersectionality in our research? In this talk, Laura Mora and Emma Pullen cover the history and definition of (the nowadays buzzword) intersectionality, followed by a discussion of how its theory can be interpreted on a methodological level. As a tool for analysis, intersectionality makes visible how several systems of oppression (based on people’s identity markers) intersect and should be seen as mutually constitutive in creating power relations. This ensures that we move away from single-issue approaches (race-only or gender-only etc.) in our research, and instead reflect people’s complex realities. We discuss how to embed intersectionality into your sampling and in conducting a visual media analysis, discourse analysis and audience study. We also learn about the importance of intersectionality in positioning oneself as a researcher. Throughout the talk, we refer to our own visual media analysis of Paralympians’ Instagram posts, but there is plenty of room as well to walk through the possibilities of making research within your fields or case studies more intersectional.
