Looking at Images: A Researcherā€™s Guide

CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME

Looking at Images: A Researcher’s GuideĀ is devised as a collaborative, open-access e-book. As a ‘guide’ on image research, it draws upon the ideas, experiences and insights of image researchers themselves. We invite creative practitioners, academics, artists, editors, publishers and curators to contribute to theGuide, which isĀ made freely available to help meet a need for research skills enrichment in creative and critical areas of image research and analysis. We welcomeĀ short, illustrated entries for the book on a wide range of conceptual and practical topics of image research. This may include, but is not restricted to:

  • case studies of individual research projects;
  • overviews of practical methods and technologies related to image research;
  • critical consideration of what we mean by the ā€˜imageā€™; and
  • close consideration of undertaking doctoral research within a related area of the image and visual culture.
  • perspectives from both practice and non-practice-based research both within and beyond the arts and humanities.


Entries should be no moreĀ thanĀ 3,000 words. We encourage the inclusion of visual materials. Contributors are responsible for securing copyright permissions for images. See below for specificĀ guidelines on layout and design.

Please send expressions of interest and/or initial proposals toĀ lookingatimages@gmail.com
