Visual Methods Round-Up @asist_org

Advance notice that I'm one of a team delivering a workshop on visual methods as part of the ASIS&T (Association for Information Science and Technology) Annual Meeting.It is likely to be on 27th or 28th October 2023, and it will be in-person in London.
The other team members are: Iulian Vamanu (University of Iowa, USA), Judith H. Van Alstyne (University of Rochester, USA), Jenna Hartel (University of Toronto, Canada), Rongqian Ma (Indiana University Bloomington, USA), Sophie Rutter (University of Sheffield, UK)
The abstract is "Visual research centers upon images, not words or numbers. Over the past century, visual research has proliferated across the social sciences and today there are innumerable variations. This in-person Workshop “rounds-up” students, scholars, and practitioners engaged in Visual Research across Information Science. Our goals are: 1) To fortify a shared understanding of fundamental concepts associated with visual methods; 2) To showcase the diversity of image-based projects across Information Science, while offering constructive commentary and seeding friendships; and 3) To brainstorm a compelling Research Agenda that maximizes our effort and unifies our community into the future. We hope this workshop will not only deepen everyone’s understanding of visual methods, but also foster a supportive community that encourages productive collaborations among researchers focused on visual media and methodologies."
