Proposal Title
Imaging Japan: Sociological and Photographic Perspectives
Abstract
This panel presentation will showcase the final projects of the faculty-led travel course in Japan during January Term 2019. Students will show the photographic work that they produced in conversation with the lessons in sociology, photography, culture and intergenerational relations while abroad. The faculty will describe the journey in creating a trans-disciplinary curriculum that engages an intersection of photography and sociology. The travel course entitled “Imaging Japan: Sociological and Photographic Perspectives” incorporated skills from the disciplines of social sciences and photography to expand our observational abilities and our capacity to communicate those discoveries through the medium of visual culture. The course was organized into three phases—1) Online course period, 2) Experiential learning period in Japan, and 3) Final project work period. Throughout the phases, the students engaged in producing visual work by integrating their observations of the social world and the techniques and concerns of photography.
