| Description | Six seminars examined theoretical, methodological and conceptual developments in visual research methods and practice, exploring their value and insights for inequalities research and their potential to inform policy and practice: Seminar 1: Here's looking at you: Photographic practices and methods Seminar 2: Visual narratives in video and film Seminar 3: Creative arts: Methods and practices for engaging with social inequalities Seminar 4: The politics of space and place Seminar. 5: New visual technologies: Challenges & opportunities for inequalities research Seminar 6: A new visual agenda? In addition, the series hosted a programme of public events, exhibitions and workshops at which creative practitioners and arts and community organisations presented their work, providing an important space for interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration and development. |
| Exploitation Route | Seminars and public events provided a focus for the generation of new insights for policy and practice and the potential of participatory visual research. The award holders worked closely with arts, community and health organisations in order to explore and develop effective community engagement, dissemination and outputs, enabling: - Artists and arts organisations to develop and share the ways in which they engage with communities, health and social care policy and practice and to explore synergies with academic practice. - Public and third sector organisations to explore methods of engaging with residents and to communicate the the value of urban spaces, parks and neighbourhood resources for well-being. - Development of new visual methods and tools to enable academics, third sector and wider publics to collect and communication high quality visual data for effective dialogue with policy, practice and society. Academic seminars and public events enabled the series to critically explore the capacity of visual methods to capture the ways in which people live unequal lives; how inequalities are expressed and understood through visual media; and how visual resources might productively inform policy making and welfare practices. Methodologically themed seminars (photography, video and film, creative arts, space and place and new visual technologies) provided a timely opportunity for cross-disciplinary intellectual focus on the theoretical and methodological contribution of visual research and its implications for social science theory and research practice. The seminar series generated over twenty journal articles including a special issue in Critical Social Policy with contributions spanning sociology, social policy, history, education, and health. Additional papers from the series are published in methodological, policy, community nursing and education journals and include contributions to themed issues on childhood, creative methods and video analysis. |

| Results and Impact | This seminar will explore the possibilities of the creative arts for inequalities research. This will include a consideration of the ways in which social scientists are increasingly embracing these media as a means of making visible social disadvantage and division. The first part of the seminar will explore what such relationships and synergies - and the data they generate - bring to the field of inequalities research. This will be followed by three parallel workshops in which there will be opportunities to engage with different methodological and analytical approaches to work in this area. diiscussion of arts based methods within social and health sciences |

| Results and Impact | The aim of this seminar is to explore the capacity of video and film to capture the ways in which people live unequal lives, how inequalities are expressed and understood through these media and how they might productively inform policy making and welfare practices. Collectively, the papers will critically explore the capacity of researcher-generated and participatory video and film for: 1.a more nuanced understanding of the lives of socially excluded and marginalised individuals and communities; 2.advancing theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches for capturing and analysing 'inequality' 3.reflexively interrogating the ways in which visual data and research practices may be complicit in reinforcing, challenging or mediating inequalities. 4.developing methods for working with communities and individuals to shape policy and practice 5.transforming policy and practice and promoting social change.
