About
this
Lecture
In
this
talk,
Dr.
Greg
Scott
considers
the
problems
and
prospects
of
using
visual
research
and
arts-based
methods
to
examine
and
portray
vulnerable
persons
and
communities,
including
former
prisoners,
people
who
use
drugs,
sex
workers,
and
the
chronically
unhoused.
He
will
reflect
critically
on
his
use
of
ethnographic
filmmaking,
documentary
photography,
virtual
reality
experience-making,
participatory
architectural
design,
and
large-scale
sculpture
to
understand
and
depict
the
lives
and
concerns
of
disenfranchised
populations.
Throughout
the
talk,
Dr.
Scott
will
address
the
ethical
conflicts
and
quagmires
of
using
visual
methods
to
document
the
lives
of
people
operating
on
the
margins.
