The truthful messenger: visual methods and representation in qualitative research in education

University of Massachusetts - Amherst, USA, sally{at}educ.umass.edu

The problems of representation in qualitative research have been widely documented and multiple means of addressing them have been offered. The purpose of this article is to illustrate ways in which employing collaborative visual methods may present one way to address such problems. While this approach is not without complications, a recent pilot study application suggests that the complexity of participant data is well-handled by integrating the graphic novel as a collaborative visual text in data collection, analysis and presentation.

Key Words: visual methods • arts and research • participant representation
