Panel
Discussion |
|
Laura has
selected and organized a panel for the International Visual Sociology Association
(IVSA) 2011 Conference, “Getting your hands dirty: Visual research methods as experiential learning”
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, July 6th-8th
2011.
‘Hands-on or experiential learning is widely accepted in adult education, work, and community settings but can be a harder “sell” in academic research and educational environments. Many colleges and universities do not offer visual research methods courses that would provide opportunities for students to review the literature and build experience with and a rationale for using visual methods in academic research. In turn, studies proposing the use of visual methods,
particularly participatory methods, can face challenges gaining approval from academic advisors, departments, and human subjects research review boards in institutions without proven visual research track records…’
see the abstract below to read more on what the panel will
discuss.
Congratulations!
Dr Laura S. Lorenz and the panel presenters (Dr
Douglas Harper - Duquesne University Pittsburg, PA.
Alexis Mann Ph.D. ABD - Brandeis University, Waltham, MA.
Dr Kim Rasmussen - Roskilde University, Roskilde, Denmark.
Stephen Svenson Ph.D. ABD - University of Waterloo, Ontario, CA.

Listening to Brain Injury Survivors
The Nationwide outpouring of concern about Congresswoman
Gabrielle Giffords’ traumatic brain injury and her recovery is
gratifying. Perhaps it will have a lasting impact, helping focus
attention on the other five million Americans living with
disabilities from brain injury. For all our life-saving modern
technology and medicine, we know little about brain injury
survivors’ lives. How do they cope? How can they find new meaning
and purpose in life, and how can we help them achieve their
goals?...
