SUMMARY:Workshop: Photography in Social Science Research - Foundations and 
 Technique
DESCRIPTION:What is (in) a picture and what potential does it have?\\r\\nDe
 spite the much cited pictorial turn and the omnipresence of cameras in our
  daily life\, few researchers master the art of (deliberately) taking high
  quality pictures that can actually be used for depicting the object of th
 eir research.This workshop offered by the Graduate Network African Studies
  for the Graduate School of Social Sciences is intended as an introduction
  to photography in field work and social science research in general. Part
 icipants learn about the potential of photographic images to speak. They a
 re introduced to the basic principles of composition and learn what makes 
 a picture. However\, photography is also interaction and issues of entitle
 ment\, authorship and ethics (the right to one’s own image) will be disc
 ussed in this workshop.Date:     16 & 19 April 2018\, 9:15-17:00Venue:
