Visual research methods are quickly becoming key topics of interest and are now widely recognised as having the potential to evoke emphatic understanding of the ways in which other people experience their worlds. Visual, Narrative and Creative Research Methods examines the practices and value of these visual approaches as a qualitative tool in the field of social science and related disciplines. This book is concerned with the process of applying visual methods as a tool of inquiry from design, to production, to analysis and dissemination. Drawing on research projects which reflect real-world situations, you will be methodically guided through the research process in detail, enabling you to examine and understand the practices and value of visual, narrative and creative approaches as effective qualitative tools. Key topics include: techniques of data production, including collage, mapping, drawing and photographs; the practicalities of application; the positioning of the researcher; interpretation of visual data; images and narratives in public spaces; evaluative analysis of creative approaches. Visual, Narrative and Creative Research Methods will be an invaluable companion for researchers, postgraduate students and other academics with an interest in visual and creative methods and qualitative research.

Traditional research discourses continue to present academic work as rational, detached, objective and free from emotion. This volume argues that the presentation of research as objective conceals the subject positions of researchers, and the emotional imperatives that often drive research. The collection engages with the emotional experiences of researchers working in different traditions, contexts and sites, and demonstrates their centrality in data production, analysis, dissemination and ethical practice. This edited volume offers contributions from a range of well-established and early career scholars who argue for an emotional rebellion in the academic world. The authors reflect on their own experiences of research, generously sharing their approach to their craft, and the uncertainties, concerns, enjoyments, and questions it entails. The contributors are based in a range of disciplines across the humanities, social sciences and STEM, and in the museum sector. This provides a unique opportunity for reflection on differences between and similarities across disciplinary boundaries, shedding new light on common problems and opportunities stimulated by emotion in research. The collection demonstrates how emotion can be valuable and meaningful in the activities of research, reflection and dissemination: offering authenticity to the academic voice, bringing clarity to interpretive biases, producing engaging outputs which connect with diverse readerships, and potentially reshaping disciplinary foundations and relations. Emotion and the Researcher: Sites, Subjectivities and Relationships will be an invaluable companion for researchers, postgraduate students and other academics with an interest in the emotional elements of conflict, negotiation, relationality and reflexivity, within and beyond the research encounter.

Creative research methods for data generation have expanded over recent decades and researchers are eager to take a creative approach to data analysis. It is challenging to bring creativity into data analysis while retaining a systematic, rigorous, and ethical approach. Written by experts in the field, this handbook addresses these challenges. The chapters adapt analytical techniques in creative ways for novice and expert researchers. Existing and novel methods from analysis of quantitative data to embodied, performative, visual, written, arts-based, and collaborative analysis are featured with case examples that are transferable across disciplines. This collection offers a definitive practical guide to creative data analysis.

Visual ethnography refers to the study of the social world, where drawing, photography, film, and digital techniques are commonly used to record aspects of everyday life, alongside the interrogation of visual culture. This entry provides a background to the field of visual ethnography and reflects on both its historical applications across different disciplines and its contemporary uses as an approach to social research methods. The entry asks, "How do researchers collect and generate visual data?" In answering this question, it focuses on how researchers "do" a visual ethnographic study, setting out different approaches to, and techniques of, creating visual data, including assemblages of photographs, collections of artefacts, and the participatory techniques of film, mapping, and collage. The second question, "How do researchers analyse visual materials?" leads to a discussion of how researchers come "to know" the visual artefact itself and the social contexts in which images are made and viewed, offering visual ethnographers new opportunities to understand social practices and relationships as they are articulated through the visual. Lastly, the entry turns to issues of dissemination and attends to the challenge, "How do researchers negotiate ethics, visibility, and representation?" In response, a number of approaches are presented as ways to ethically present, and re-represent, visual data to engage audiences and generate impact. The entry notes that visual ethnography has much to offer the field of social research but that it is important that researchers continue to work on developing its methodological, analytical, and ethical agendas for the future. The entry provides a foundation for gaining an understanding of visual ethnography and a basis for engaging with this project of development, offering strategies for negotiating best practice in fieldwork, analysis, and visual audiencing.
