Visiting Scholar at the Information School, University of Sheffield

This event is geared for researchers, educators, and practitioners in information science and cognate disciplines who wish to employ arts-informed visual methods for research or education. During the workshop, Drs. Cox and Hartel will each demonstrate two arts-informed, visual techniques they have used in their work. The techniques to be covered entail drawing, modelling, and multimedia, among others. In an informal, conversational environment, all participants will be able to voice questions and concerns about arts-informed, visual approaches, and the get-together will seed a community of interest for the future.

  

Examples of the outcome of arts-informed, visual techniques used in the classroom by Dr. Cox (left) and Dr. Hartel (right). At left, students at the Information School were asked to create a model of their perfect group work space. At right, students at the Faculty of Information produced analytical information horizons, following the work of Sonnenwald (2005). Approaches such as these will be featured in the workshop.
