讲座简介

This lecture I will probe what is involved in researching cities through making photographic images. I will explore the sociological work that photographs can do in the context of ethnographic exploration of cities and the people who live in them. How might we think about cities? And, indeed, what is a photograph? How can we capture scenes of everyday life? What kinds of considerations are involved in making visual urban commentaries? In this lecture I will draw on some of my research collaborations with photographers and discuss the finding of a small-scale project exploring the lives of young Chinese migrants in London, and some of the ways in which London is a Chinese city.
