Event overview
Photography Competition
CUCR invites all Goldsmiths Sociology students (BA/MA/PhD) to participate in the IVSA 2013 Conference Photo Competition. The winning entries will be displayed on all conference publicity (conference pack, webpages and posters). Inspired by Michael Burawoy’s concept of “public sociology,” we dedicate the 2013 IVSA conference to the concept of the “public image”, and the ways that visual sociology can meet Burawoy’s challenge to bring a sociological understanding of social life to a vibrant, active and diverse public. Public sociology endeavours to bring sociology into dialogue with audiences beyond the academy, an open dialogue in which both sides deepen their understanding of public issues.
The conference has invited submissions on: Activism and Engagement, Walking and Seeing the City, Surveillance, Public and Private Images, Resilience and Urban Change, Social Networks and Virtual Image Worlds, New Visual Methodologies, Rethinking Visual Theory, Urban Visibilities and Invisibilities, Visual Ethics, Visualising Sociological Publics.
Winning entries will be of high quality, a good composition and contain strong imagery. The winner of the competition will be fully credited for their artwork and given complimentary registration to the conference which includes dinner and wine receptions and £50 cash.
