Politics and Pedagogy: Encounters with a photograph
|
|
My research journey is epitomized by doctoral research that produced a thesis acclaimed in the fields of visual sociology, post-critical pedagogies, and qualitative methodogical development. Besides winning two awards and being nominated for three others, the thesis research created public interest and was podcast by the Toronto Review of Books, while other parts were included in a book chapter and three journal articles. The monograph based on my thesis was published in a high profile series “Advances in Semiotics” by Bloomsbury Publishing, a house that was shortlisted for Academic, Educational & Professional Publisher of the Year in 2015. The monograph was launched at King’s University College in March, 2015 and published in paperback in 2016.
My ongoing research projects connect to many of the important touchstones in this formative project including theories of the image, digital and visual sociological matters, alternative pedagogies, qualitative research design and Latin American collaborations particularly in Argentina, Mexico, Cuba and Venezuela. |

I created a number of montages as part of the process of analysis. Each video reflects a moment in time where I am grappling with a specific question, problem, or affective knot. |

One of the chapters was a digital story before I wrote it as a book chapter.
This was the first video I made for the project and was still developing a kind of visual rhetoric. |
