RESEARCH
IVSA members may post articles here to share with
colleagues and the wider community.
The Summer School in Visual Sociology will organize a one-week course of theoretical and empirical study that will focus on both creating images for social research objectives and also the sociological interpretation and analysis of those images that are routinely produced in processes of individual and institutional communication. The summer school is scheduled for June 8-14, 2008 in Bertinoro, Italy. Visit the summer school website for detailed information.
