Visual Dialogues: New Agendas in Inequalities Research

This ESRC funded seminar series brings together academics, practitioners and policy makers from across the arts and social and health sciences in order to explore the potential of the visual for understanding the forms and experiences of inequality that shape societies, communities and individual lives.

Organised around the themes of Photography; Film, T.V. and Video; Art; Design and New Visual Technologies, the aim of the series is to generate an intellectually rigorous, policy focused visual research agenda while also stimulating wider public conversations about inequalities and the role of the visual in sustaining and/or ameliorating these.

Organisers: Dr Helen Lomax (University of Hertfordshire); Dr Janet Fink (Open University); Prof Gillian Rose (Open University); Richenda Gambles (Open University); Lisa Whiting (University of Hertfordshire).

Seminars will take place throughout 2010 and 2011. Please visit the Visual Dialogues project website for more details.
