Visual approaches raise important questions of research philosophies, strategies and methods. They “not only enable researchers to produce knowledge in innovative ways,” but also “can be seen as a liberating and emancipatory force, whereby researchers, participants, and communities gain access to knowledge and expressions that might have not otherwise been accessible due to the inevitable strictures of traditional methods”. Accordingly, we invite submissions that challenge researchers to think critically or differently about visual methods in/as leisure research.
