Time: Thursday, March 15, 2012 14:15pm-15:45pm, 16:15pm-17:30pm

In this workshop we want to show how to integrate and interpret photographic material within ICT4D research projects: examples of photo elicitation will be combined with practical works in groups on different methods of analysis (content analysis, semiology and discourse analysis), and a critical approach towards the visual and its implications will be discussed.
