Creative and visual methods in comparative research
In June, we ran a successful seminar at the University of Surrey exploring the ways in which creative and visual methods can be used to research across difference. We are pleased to announce that various materials from the seminar (including films, audio recordings and slides) are now available here for all to watch and/or listen.
