      Abstract

      Visual research methods are hot across academe. In any visual
      research design, data collection is relatively easy compared to
      the more complicated task of analysis. Therefore, this half-day
      Workshop focuses critical attention on visual data analysis. The
      session is intended for three audiences: 1.) those who wish to be
      guided in advance through their own original visual research
      project that is analyzed at the Workshop; 2.) scholars who already
      have a visual data set that has yet to be analyzed; and 3.) people
      with a general interest in visual research methods.  These three
      groups will convene at the iConference in Philadelphia to learn
      and practice five visual analysis techniques, namely:
      compositional interpretation, content analysis, thematic analysis,
      pictorial metaphor analysis, and conceptual analysis. The session
      will be run by Jenna Hartel, an early adopter of visual methods in
      information studies, creator of the iSquare Research Program, and a
      specialist on visual data analysis. The event concludes with
      recommendations from an artist on ways to disseminate the results
      of visual research via traditional and non-traditional formats and
      channels. In a collaborative environment, all participants will be
      able to voice questions and concerns about the visual analysis
      process and advance their own visual research projects; further,
      the get-together will seed a community of interest for the future.
