Visual Studies Platform (launched in November 2014) is a cross-disciplinary initiative designed to explore and propose innovative approaches to research and teaching visual imagery in the digital century. It encompasses research on visual theory, method and history with a strong emphasis on digital cultures, film and iconology across different media forms. VSP engages with theories and practices of analogue and digital image-making as well as interpretation through a web of interrelated activities, including thematic colloquia, workshops, summer school programs, and crossdepartmental courses.
The Visual Studies Platform announces a methodology workshop to investigate best practices of the teaching of Visual Culture Studies. Within this broader frame the present workshop seeks to identify methodological challenges and learn the creative ways in which others have answered them. It is meant to facilitate networking among faculty, students, and artists in an international arena of academic dialogue.
