Introduction: Ethics and Integrity in Visual Research Methods
No full textThis chapter serves as an introduction to the key themes found within the volume Ethics and Integrity in Visual Research Methods, and provides a rationale for the volume’s focus on photography and film media. Drawing from other literature, the author discusses the significance of indexicality and visual language when working with photography and film in research contexts, and describes how these considerations set photography and film apart from other forms of visual data. The chapter concludes by outlining the format of the volume, which divides the nine chapters into three key areas of exploration: Voice and Agency, Power and Inequality, and Context and Representation

Waring, James J. The Epidemic at Savannah. Savannah, Georgia: Morning News Steam Printing House, 1879.
The Epidemic at Savannah 1876 James J. WaringThis substantial document deals with the yellow fever epidemic in Savannah in 1876. The author, James J. Waring, was the Chairman of the Dry Culture Committee (try imagining what that means without this book as a guide.) This book was a supplement to the Mayor's Report of January, 1879. The Mayor of Savannah is listed as J. F. Wheaton. The book includes a small, foldout, color map of Savannah as well as comprehensive information on this epidemic and what the city did to combat it. Illustrations include, besides drawings of bacteria, a Night Soil Van and a two-door (and presumably, two-seat) wooden privy. This plate was used earlier in the 1877 report entitled Evil and Remedy of the Privy System (no kidding). This book is very scarce. There is a copy listed in DeRenne (II 784) with full collation. No copies in NUC. Even without the front wrap, this is a desirable piece of Savannah history
Our Economic Times: Big Banks Fail Dodd-Frank
No full textThis column was published in Savannah Morning News.
Two weeks ago, the U.S. Treasury Department, in a report released by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), assuaged policy-maker and taxpayer concerns that a repeat big-bank bailout would not be a necessary damage control tool in the face of future financial duress. The study claimed that safeguards associated with the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 have succeeded in diminishing the advantages from which big banks benefitted during the crisis relative to their smaller-sized counterparts. The findings even led treasury undersecretary Mary Miller to state, “We believe these results reflect increased market recognition of what should now be evident - Dodd-Frank ended ‘too big to fail’ as a matter of law..
Ethical Issues in a Participatory Photography Research Project Involving Youth with Refugee Experience
No full textUsing Participant-Produced Drawings as an Alternative to Photographs in Ethnographic Research
No full textIn this chapter I explore the ethical challenge of preserving participant anonymity when using visual methods in ethnographic research. Referring to my own ethnographic study in post-conflict Northern Ireland, I explore the how social, cultural and political contexts may accentuate the need to preserve anonymity. discuss my rationale for opting not to use photographs in this context and put forward the case for using participant-produced drawings as an alternative to photographs. Drawings accomplish similar rich benefits as photographs but may ameliorate the ethical challenges inherent in photographic work of maintaining participant anonymit

Possibilities and Challenges: Issues in ethical filmmaking using It Stays With You as a case study'
No full textTwo western Europeans produced a film 'It Stays With You: Use of Force by UN Peacekeepers in Haiti' (50 minutes, 2018) about the uses and results of violence by United Nations peacekeeping troops in Haiti. Here, they offer an opportunity to re ect on and learn from an array of themes that include wealth disparity, resource inequality, language barriers, distant communication, and physical and mental health. Such contrasts of access to resources test the possibilities that participatory practices can offer, and this chapter attempts to draw out what was achieved, and what was not, in such a collaboration, by reflecting on what challenges were faced, how these were addressed, and what lessons were learned
Using group interaction history in the wild
No full textInspired by theories of how professionals enter into a reflective conversation with their work materials, the research area of interaction history seeks to make use of the accumulated actions of many people in working with digital objects. Despite compelling system designs and empirical results in laboratory settings, group interaction histories have not been widely employed. I outline a series of research questions, plans and tools that will be among the first to investigate and evaluate the use of shared interaction history in the day-to-day work of individuals and groups

Soils of the Savannah River Project, Aiken, South Carolina
No full textThe author mapped and evaluated soils of the Savannah River Project for management. The Author mapped the soils of the Savannah River Project area and evaluated their suitability for various management activities. The latter included forestry and industrial uses. In general the soil of the Savannah River Project area are representative of the sandhills and upper coastal plain geological complex. Soils in the uplands are dominated by sand overlying clays that are suitable for pine management. Soils in the area adjacent to the Savannah River are the most biologically productive and consist of heavy clay and silt deposition. The project provided a common nomenclature for soil mapping consistent with the SCS Survey Procedure
