It will serve as a platform for photography; encouraging its uses, analyses and practices in social research, expanding the possibilities of photographic practice beyond its current observational and illustrative uses within academia. The character of research and practice with photography has changed significantly over the past decades, such that inquiries into the nature of different screen media, their interactivity, in art installations, their digitisation, the politics of their making, distribution and reception has emerged alongside more traditional perspectives and topics such as cultural memory and visual heritage.<br \/>\nAt the same time, cultural, technological and political shifts have led us to re-address the use of photography in academic research, challenging photography as an archaic practice to the moving image or an art practice outside an ideological or social platform.<\/p>\n<h4>Call or papers and visual submissions<\/h4>\n<p>Submissions are welcomed that discuss how through photography social researchers and practitioners play an important collaborative role in exploring people\u2019s social life and how photography is being used and reconfigured to enrich social research practices, dissemination of data and in enriching academic writing.<br \/>\nContributions are welcome from researchers, practitioners and artists working in all fields such as education, social research, the arts, museums, archives and anyone who is engaged with the analysis and the production of photography.<br \/>\nPanels are not limited to the following themes but can be used to guide submissions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The still image in a world in movement<\/li>\n<li>Photographs in a world of textual hegemony<\/li>\n<li>The use of photographs in a social\u00a0research environment and academic writing<\/li>\n<li>Photographic ethnographies<\/li>\n<li>The politics of visual evidence and the archive<\/li>\n<li>Politics and photography<\/li>\n<li>The social life of photographs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Submissions<\/h5>\n<p>Submissions are invited from, but not limited, to academics, researchers, educators, curators, artists, independent scholars and practitioners.<br \/>\nSubmissions may be made via e-mail attachment (Word documents or PDF preferred).
