dc.description.abstractIn this talk I will describe research and teaching organized around visual thinking and techniques. These include visual ethnography/narrative, semiotics, visual empiricism and phenomenology. I will illustrate each of these with examples from my research on railroad tramps, a thousand year old piazza in Bologna, Italy, the George Floyd memorial in Minneapolis and studies of the working knowledge of an auto mechanic. I will suggest how these research approaches translate to assignments in visual sociology courses, which can be adapted completely or in part to all disciplines of the social sciences, humanities and even the natural sciences.
