CALL FOR PAPERS

Proposed Panel for the Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA) Meetings
March 25 - 29, 2008 in Memphis, TN

"Visualizing change: Emergent technologies in social justice inquiry and 
action"

New visual technologies are changing the ways that anthropologists do
research and opening up new possibilities for collaborative and
participatory approaches. Visual approaches to participatory research
may appeal to wider and more diverse audiences. *These methods produce*
*rich visual and narrative data guided by participant interests and*
*priorities, putting the methods literally in the hands of the*
*participants themselves. **

Emergent visual research technologies may*
*include Photovoice, digital storytelling, blogging, website*
*production, community digital mapping, video advocacy or*
*community-based filmmaking, participatory digital archival research,*
*and bodymapping, among others.*

We invite researchers to present projects applying these methods in
the field. Presentations might address the following issues: ethical
concerns (representational ethics, as well community or cultural
sensitivities); potential audiences (i.e. policy makers or
communicating research beyond the academy); the role of the audience
(both in terms of who is considered in production and exhibition);
*voice, representation, and power; access, capacity, and the digital*
*divide; academics and activist roles; participants as knowledge*
*producers and agents of change; therapeutic process of storytelling;*
*community building; standards of validity; a new lens of*
*participant-observation; and decision making in the participatory*
*research process.*

*We especially welcome researchers working in the arenas of environment*
*and/or public health.*

organizers by September 30, 2007.
