Photo Time Network
Using photographs to research the past, change, histories and memories
Photo Time Network has been set up by Dr Penny Tinkler to provide a forum for researchers from the arts and social sciences to share ideas and develop strategies for using photographs to address questions about the past (both recent and distant), change, histories and memories. The focus is on research practices, including the conceptual and theoretical issues that underpin these, and necessarily involves reflection on what kinds of questions we can address. Whilst there have been significant developments in methodologies and methods relating to the use of photographs in the arts and social sciences, few texts explain the processes and practices of using photographs to research the past and change. Frequently, methodologies remain embedded in specific studies rather than made explicit. In Photo Time events, researchers working within different traditions (anthropology, social and cultural history, sociology, education, geography and the arts) are invited to dis-embed their practice and explain how they have used photographs to address historical and temporal questions.
