9.15 – 17:30pm, Friday 6th March 2020
Organised by The Politics of Representation Collective, funded by The Sociological Review and The Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge.
StoryLab’s Director, Shreepali Patel presented on the panel ‘Learning from other sectors: Competing Aims and Goals in Representation’ at The Visual and Critical Representation in an Age of Impact Seminar. The seminar engaged with the politics of representation in an increasingly accelerated, regulated, metrics-driven, and marketised academic environment (Black et al 2015; Vostal, 2016) directed by the demands of REF. The seminar considered the drawbacks and possibilities of visual research dissemination, in particular through social media pathways, using the lens of representation in a distracted-spectatorship culture (Nichols, 2017).
