Course Taster – Visual Analysis in Politics Research

Abstract

Instructor: Erik Bucy Date: Tuesday 13 August No pre-registration required – just drop in on the day. Although highly memorable and persuasive, visuals are the overlooked element of media and communication in political analysis. This course taster presents a virtual course on the theory, methods, and application of visual communication analysis in politics. The course covers the use of visuals in inferential and interpretive study designs, using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The instructor will present a 30-minute lecture on their course topic, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session. This will allow you to get a clearer picture of the methodology, its fundamental principles, course objectives, and the tools you'll explore.
