About the SIG

Dr Fatema Kawaf and Professor Natalia Yannopoulou are delighted to welcome you to the Visual Methods Special Interest Group at the Academy of Marketing.

The purpose of the group is to foster a dialogue and expand knowledge on visual and videographic research methodologies and issues among academics and business people and other groupings as appropriate.

The Visual Methods SIG Objectives:

• Ultimately the goal is for this SIG to become a destination for researchers, academics and PhD students interested in conducting visual research to find support, guidance, resources, and training to enable them to successfully navigate and adopt the visual method relevant to their research.
• Additionally, the SIG aims to foster an environment that facilitates interaction among academics, business people and policy makers relating to the use of visual and videography research.
• Disseminate research findings, theoretical contributions, and successful business practices among members. We aim to achieve this by (1) establishing and running a visual and videography research track at the Academy of Marketing conference (TBC) annually (2) organizing seminars and webinars to allow presentations relating to visual research regularly
• Various novel visual research methods are on the rise. Be it visual, videography or screencasting, evidently new methods require training and capacity building to allow researchers and PhD students to adopt these methods. As such the SIG will be predominantly focused on organizing and running training events regularly in order to enable this.

If you or your PhD students are interested in visual methods, please feel free to register here.

Please only register if you are certain you will be attending to enable us to plan accordingly. Feel free to pass this on to others who might be interested too. Find out more.
