Visual scribing – combining pictures, diagrams and text to synthesise ideas in real time – offers qualitative researchers a powerful tool for participant engagement, collective memory and trust building.
Drawing on real-world case studies, this groundbreaking textbook guides readers from first principles through to analysis and communication. The first of its kind to establish visual scribing as a rigorous participatory research method, it uniquely bridges academic inquiry and graphic design expertise.
The book features:
• Step-by-step guidance for integrating visual scribing into everyday notetaking practice;
• Case studies illustrating applications across diverse research contexts; and
• Analytical frameworks for rigorous, replicable interpretation of scribed illustrations.
An indispensable resource for qualitative researchers, social scientists, research methods educators, and graphic facilitators and scribes alike.
