Reviews for Researching the Visual

Stocked with artful new insights, methods and observations without jettisoning more enduring concerns, the field of visual research as presented here is a very welcome sight. David Rowe University of Western Sydney In this newest edition, the authors take visual research far beyond the study of two-dimensional images to show readers how observational techniques can be ... Read moremarshalled to analyze public and private spaces in the built environment, human interaction and the culture of everyday life. Researching the Visual is a real eye-opener. David Grazian University of Pennsylvania ...Although the book does not explicitly say that this would be useful for educational researchers, the content and style does lend itself well to be a useful methodological resource for those educationalists engaged in research or postgraduate study who are curious about visual methods. And for the adventurous, the many excellent examples of exercises and projects and the illustrations throughout will provide a good place to start. This book would also be a positive addition to the reading list of any lecturers who are keen to explore visual methods with their students.
Jill Clark, School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences, Newcastle University The Impact of the Social Sciences provides wide-ranging new data on how non-academic impact occurs in social, business or policy contexts as well as identifying the types of research and researcher best placed to produce these ′auditable or recordable occasions of influence′. It also proposes the idea of ′a hidden iceberg mass of knowledge′ called the Dynamic Knowledge Inventory that builds up in the public domain and remains dormant, ready for some unspecified use. This framework also highlights the collective and cumulative nature of social science research available to user communities. As REF impact case studies and ′Pathway to Impact′ statements rely on specific impacts emerging from individual research projects, the Dynamic Knowledge Inventory challenges a major assumption of the impact agenda.
