Andrew Causey “Drawn to See” podcast

Find out more about our keynote! Check out Dr. Andrew Causey’s podcast on his new book at http://newbooksnetwork.com/andrew-causey-drawn-to-see-drawing-as-ethnographic-method-u-toronto-press-2016/

“In his new book Drawn to See: Drawing as an Ethnographic Method (University of Toronto Press, 2016) Andrew Causey argues that social science practitioners can cultivate new ways of experiencing the world through drawing. He has developed thirty-nine “etudes,” drawing exercises that challenge the reader to become a more rigorous observer and to transform their relationship with both visual media and academia. These etudes have been tried and tested over many years in his class, Visual Anthropology, at Columbia College – Chicago. With exciting interdisciplinary possibilities, this is book expands the toolbox available to ethnographers.” text excerpted from New Books Network (http://newbooksnetwork.com/andrew-causey-drawn-to-see-drawing-as-ethnographic-method-u-toronto-press-2016/)
