Using Visual Ethnography in the Classroom

Margaret Brooks

Abstract

Recent post-modern approaches to subjectivity, experience, knowledge and representation, along with an emphasis on collaborative and interdisciplinary research, have invited exciting new possibilities for visual methods and representation. Visual ethnography has the potential to reveal understandings about the lived experiences of young children that can be grasped no other way. This paper explores the potential for using hypermedia, photography, video and drawing in the context of the classroom. Using examples from my interactive PhD website and current research, I will argue that visual media is rich with potential for researchers, teachers, children and their families.
