Book Release: Ethics and Integrity in Visual Research Methods

We are very excited to announce the release of a new book volume: Ethics and Integrity in Visual Research Methods.

Edited by Photography Ethics Centre founder and director Savannah Dodd, this volume aims to unpack the multiple considerations for ethics and integrity that accompany research methods involving visual data generation and analysis. Inside, readers will find 10 chapters that discuss the generation and analysis of photography and film data in a variety of research contexts.

Contributing authors cover a variety of topics, including: consent and dignity when working with vulnerable and marginalized populations; the limitations of participatory methods within a context of inequity and postcolonialism; the challenges of anonymising visual data; and the risks of sharing visual data online. This volume is intended to be practical, and the key messages aim to be concrete and applicable for anyone embarking on visual methods research.

The book is available for purchase as part of the series Advances in Research Ethics and Integrity at the Emerald Publishing bookstore. You can watch a recording of our book launch event below.
