Welcome International Conference:
Photography in Academic Research 8-9 September 2016
UCL, Institute of Archaeology (Heritage Studies)
Dear Participants
Welcome to our first International Conference: Photography in Academic Research at UCL, Institute of Archaeology (Heritage Studies), London, in collaboration with Birkbeck, Department of Politics and the Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI). The conference aims to provide a space of exchange, stimulating dialogue between social researchers and practitioners who engage with photography creatively and critically. It will serve as a platform for photography; encouraging its uses, analyses and practices in social research, expanding the possibilities of photographic practice beyond its current observational and illustrative uses within academia.The character of research and practice with photography has changed significantly over the past decades. At the same time, cultural, technological and political shifts have led us to re-address the use of photography in academic research, challenging photography as an archaic practice to the moving image or an art practice outside an ideological or social platform.Photography in Academic Research, a two day event welcomes over 70 delegates across 20 panels, round tables and key notes for academics and artists with a passion for photography. Speakers represent 27 countries in this intercultural, interdisciplinary conference.This conference will be the first of what I hope to be a biennial event. It is for scholars and practitioners working in a varied range of cultures, contexts, and academic areas come together to share their perspectives on the use and representation of photography.I would like to take this opportunity to thank our conference chairs, keynote speakers, featured speakers and our event assistants as well as all our contributors and sponsors that made this event possible and I look forward to meeting you all.
Sincerely
Dr Marcel Reyes-Cortez Conference Director

Welcome to the UCL Institute of Archaeology. The Institute of Archaeology
is renowned as one of the world’s leading centres of expertise for research
and teaching in the fields of Museum Studies, Conservation, Cultural
Heritage Studies, and Public Archaeology. This is a strongly interdisciplinary
area of study and the Heritage Studies brings together scholars from a wide
range of academic and professional backgrounds, including anthropology,
archaeology, conservation, curatorship, heritage management, museum
education, and material culture studies.
We envision that the 'photography + (con) text: Photography in Academic
Research' conference will generate rigorous, challenging and stimulating
debates about photography in academic research. It is a pleasure for us to
invite participants from a wide range of academic disciplines and practices
and to be able to facilitate a dialogue between theory and practice, art and
science, politics and journalism.
We hope you will enjoy the conference!
