Ethical Regulation and Visual Methods
The ethical regulation of social research in the UK has been steadily increasing over the last decade or so and comprises a form of audit to which all researchers in Higher Education are subject. Concerns have been raised by social researchers using visual methods that such ethical scrutiny and regulation will place severe limitations on visual research developments and practice. This paper draws on a qualitative study of social researchers using…
Visual Research Ethics at the Crossroads1
This chapter provides an overview of the \ndebates and practices that shape visual \nresearch ethics. We outline the requirements \nand expectations of institutional ethics review \nboards and legal frameworks, for example, \nregarding filming and photographing in \npublic and issues of copyright. We contend \nthat legal and institutional requirements \nshould not be the sole determinants when \nmaking decisions about ethics, but rather \nmust be…
Ethical issues in image-based research
This paper provides an overview of current ethical concerns in image-based research. It considers the influence of institutional structures such as regulatory frameworks, professional guidelines and institutional review boards before focusing on issues of data collection and dissemination. The paper discusses informed consent, anonymity and confidentiality, specifically in relation to how they may differ in image-based compared to word-based rese…
Visual mediation of critical illness
This article is concerned with the portrayal of the impact of critical illness on the author's life. An autobiographical approach is used to illustrate how imagery mediates personal trauma. A personal journey over a four‐year period, from the onset of illness towards recovery, is portrayed in the form of snapshots of critical events. Running parallel to the visual dimension is the application of mountain climbing as a metaphor for first understan…
Visual methods and the visual culture of schools
This article examines visual methods for understanding the visual culture of schools. It adopts an institutional culture perspective to equate the visual culture of schools with the ‘hidden curriculum’ of schooling. A range of visual sub‐cultures is touched upon including architecture, non‐teaching space and postures of teaching and learning. The possibility of conceiving the visual culture of schools as a holistic entity raises the problematic o…

What constitutes an image‐based qualitative methodology
This paper considers the need for an image‐based research methodology. The term ‘image‐based’ is meant to reflect the use of a wide range of visuals, for example, film, video, photographs and cartoons, within a qualitative research context. It is also meant to apply generically to encompass a wide range of fields of study including sociology, anthropology, education and health studies. There are principally two reasons why an image‐based methodol…
Personal Reflections on the Use of Photography in an Ethnographic Case Study
In the past photography has been little used in educational research. If it is to play a greater role in the future there will be a need to establish a set of practical and theoretical guidelines. This article describes a practical application of photography to a case study of a newly formed comprehensive school. A broad strategy is presented, giving an outline of photographic techniques and their uses within a qualitative research framework. The…
