Social Visualities: Palgrave Book Series Launch.

This session invites all who are interested in proposing a book related to visual sociology or collaboration between visual sociology and other topics/methods.

With an emphasis on socio-visual thinking, the book series aims to unpick some of the pre-existing imaginaries and boundaries that still dominate a major discipline like sociology. In particular, the ways in which we engage with images, their production and use in specific spaces and contexts. To this end, Social Visualities looks to further normalise the visual as a valid data source as well as provide a platform for the interrogation and analysis of new, emerging and ever-changing types of visual data and image production practices.

The co-editors will present some of the current projects (namely the first book of the series: Visual Sociology: Practices and Politics in Contested Spaces, 2021 )and will be happy to answer questions and give feedback to new book proposals.
