Teaching FNAR 712 Visual Epistemologies Seminar this Spring
The Visual Epistemologies seminar provides a historical survey on contemporary practices of “image-making” across a range of disciplines to allow students to have hands-on experience with new visualization techniques. The goal is to study different types of visual systems—from paintings to real-time visualizations, drone images, and computer games—that are used to create and disseminate knowledge that shape our social, cultural and political discourses.
Meeting time/place:
