Scholars have long used photography, maps, &drawings to move beyond text as they collect &present data. Visual sociology & anthropology have centered sensorial techniques to expand interpretations and representations. In this workshop, participants will consider how to use these and other techniques to capture spaces and discuss how to use these methods to represent the sensorial.

Participants can bring concepts, portfolios, visual materials, and more to work on.
