CANCELLED: Embodied methods: creative possibilites in research
Lund Social Science Methods Center together with Yafa Shanneik invites you to a workshop about creative research methods. We will deep dive into body mapping, which is an arts-based research technique, and explore how full body portraits can be used in data collection.
No registration needed for this workshop.
In this workshop Yafa Shanneik will share her experiences and knowledge about the arts-based research method body mapping and its possibilities using virtual reality (VR). Professor Shannaeik’s research employs a decolonial and participatory framework aimed at understanding the lived experience of displaced communities from the Middle East.
To initiate the session Mikaela Linell, PhD student at the department of sociology, will give a general introduction to body mapping research and its unique composition which allows for exploration of embodied perspectives and insights.
We warmly welcome you to this session where you can deepen your methodological knowledge about creative techniques for qualitative research.
