Within the scope of the course, it is intended that students examine reflective gaze, discourse analysis, visual semiotics, visual culture, visually-oriented ethnography, photo-based ethnography, action research, a/r/tography, technology-oriented, and design-based research approaches; and develop a research proposal based on visual research methods, while considering ethical principles regarding visual research and the key points to be observed during reporting processes.
