The course is an introduction to visual sociology and visual studies. It gives students the opportunity to get to know the basics of visual sociology, both in theory and practice. The course is designed not only to present theoretical approach and methodological background of the subdiscipline, but also to give students the opportunity to explore the filed themselves and gain some research practice. The course is completed by in-class workshops and students’ own projects.
