Do Better Research Episode 2: Using Visual Methods in Research
In this episode, I speak to two fantastic researchers Dr Jan Wilcox (https://www.uos.ac.uk/people/dr-jan-wilcox) and Dr Suzanne Culshaw (https://www.bera.ac.uk/person/suzanne-culshaw) about their use of visual methods in their PhD research. You'll hear how they employed visual components to their methods to enhance their data collection, providing focal points for participant discussions. They'll also be sharing some tips on how to include visual methods in your own research design.
