Making sense through making zines: a workshop on analysis
Advertisement
A workshop exploring zine-making as a way to analyse research data, led by Tamsin Oudney Walker from the University of Lancashire.
About this Event

Zines are self-created, self-published, non-commercial, non-professional, small circulation booklets or magazines. Making one can be a way to understand something – anything! – in a new way. This workshop is an opportunity to try out zine-making as a tool for analysing research data.

Tamsin has recently completed a PhD about survivors of the mental health system, epistemic injustice and zines. She will outline her research questions, then explain how she set out to answer them, not only through interviewing people who made zines and facilitating zine making workshops, but also through making zines herself.

Tamsin will share some examples of the zines she made, showing how they stand up as examples of narrative analysis, thematic analysis and arts-based research. You will then have a go yourself at analysing a transcript/transcripts (which Tamsin will provide) in zine form.

This is a creative activity for which no prior knowledge, experience or skill is necessary. All resources will be provided. You will have the opportunity to share what you have created with each other, and we will end with a reflection on the process.


This event will take place in room 1.52 in Edinburgh Futures Institute.
