This project will consolidate and embed visual and embodied methodologies (VEM) as an established and widely recognised research practice in the social sciences. Building on a successful track record of innovative research working with and through VEM since 2020 to explore issues of exclusion and social justice, this project will apply VEM to address an urgent and ongoing research need around intersectional gendered violence. The additional value of the project will be to identify and support best research practice by examining and providing guidance on data collection, collaboration, ethics and impact and engagement to inform knowledge production and policy. VEM encompasses a range of methods including, but not limited to, body-mapping, photovoice, photo elicitation, visual auto-ethnography, film-making and creative arts-based methods such as playback and verbatim theatre, contact improvisation, poetry, song, writing and drawing. The current project builds on Imaging Social Justice, developed by the Visual and Embodied Methodologies (VEM) Network at King's College London with the Arts Cabinet (2020-2021). This project encompassed a range of different modalities to make tangible human experiences of everyday violence and struggle for justice through showcasing five initiatives in which social scientists worked with artists to explore complex research questions around societies' tendency to marginalise certain population groups. These projects explored the dynamics of such active marginalisation and in doing so, gave voice to those whose lived realities are shaped by the structures of exclusion and routine violence in Rwanda, Palestine, Ecuador, Peru, and London. The creative engagements included participatory photography/ photovoice, documentary photography, song, bodymapping, and participatory mapping. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was conducted completely online. Drawing on these experiences of the VEM Network at King's since March 2020, the current project will pioneer a specific VEM approach to researching intersectional gendered violence with a wide range of participants, including students and young people, activists, early career researchers, and policymakers. In addition to consolidating the methodological innovations developed through this initiative in an online and editorial format developed with the Arts Cabinet, the proposed project will delineate the core dimensions of VEM as a systematic collection of arts-based approaches to exploring key social science research challenges, in this case, with respect to gendered violence. The project will generate four researcher-artist creative collaborations, one for each work package (1. Imaging Harassment: Mapping and Understanding Intersectional Gendered Violence; 2. Imaging Resistance: Collaborative Activism; 3. Imaging Pain: Ethical Practice and Vulnerability; and 4. VEM for Impact). These will be showcased online through an online exhibition of Editorials with the Arts Cabinet and an online and in-person exhibition to be held at The Exchange space at King's together with a VEM/Arts Cabinet book (to reflect further on the Editorials (and to include 7 commissioned creative writing texts). It will also develop a 'Shapers' residency with the Science Gallery London (working with young people from London around preventing intersectional gendered violence) and a Policy Lab. The project will create a VEM methodological toolkit to outline guiding principles on how to use these methods, the ethical dimensions of them, and lessons learnt, as well as a VEM for impact and policy toolkit using VEM for policy change and enhancing impact in relation to engaging wider audiences in prevention work, and knowledge generation regarding support systems and legislation. Finally, it will include a series of more 'traditional' social science outputs through academic outputs (four journal articles and co-authored handbook).

该项目将巩固和嵌入视觉和体现的方法（VEM）作为一个既定的和广泛认可的研究实践在社会科学。基于自2020年以来与VEM合作并通过VEM探索排斥和社会正义问题的创新研究的成功记录，该项目将应用VEM来解决围绕交叉性别暴力的紧迫和持续的研究需求。该项目的额外价值将是，通过审查数据收集、协作、道德操守和影响以及参与方面的问题并提供指导，确定和支持最佳研究做法，为知识生产和政策提供信息。VEM包括一系列方法，包括但不限于身体映射，摄影语音，摄影启发，视觉自动人种学，电影制作和基于创造性艺术的方法，如回放和逐字戏剧，接触即兴创作，诗歌，歌曲，写作和绘画。目前的项目建立在成像社会正义的基础上，由伦敦国王学院的视觉和视觉方法（VEM）网络与艺术内阁（2020-2021）开发。该项目包括一系列不同的模式，通过展示五项举措，使人们对日常暴力和争取正义的斗争有切实的体验，其中社会科学家与艺术家合作，探讨围绕社会边缘化某些人口群体的趋势的复杂研究问题。这些项目探讨了这种积极边缘化的动态，并在这样做的过程中，让那些生活在卢旺达、巴勒斯坦、厄瓜多尔、秘鲁和伦敦的排斥和日常暴力结构中的人发出声音。创意活动包括参与式摄影/摄影声音，纪实摄影，歌曲，人体测绘和参与式测绘。鉴于COVID-19疫情，该项目完全在线进行。根据自2020年3月以来国王大学VEM网络的这些经验，目前的项目将开创一种特定的VEM方法，与广泛的参与者，包括学生和年轻人，活动家，早期职业研究人员和政策制定者一起研究交叉性别暴力。除了以与艺术内阁共同开发的在线和编辑格式巩固通过这一举措开发的方法创新之外，拟议项目还将描述VEM的核心维度，作为探索关键社会科学研究挑战的基于艺术的方法的系统集合，在这种情况下，关于性别暴力。该项目将产生四个研究人员和艺术家的创意合作，每个工作包一个（1。图像骚扰：映射和理解交叉性别暴力; 2。想象阻力：合作行动主义; 3。成像疼痛：道德实践和脆弱性;和4。VEM for Impact）。这些将通过与艺术内阁的在线社论展览和在线和面对面的展览在国王的交流空间举行，以及VEM/艺术内阁书（以进一步反映社论（并包括7个委托创意写作文本）。它还将与伦敦科学画廊（与来自伦敦的年轻人一起防止跨部门的性别暴力）和政策实验室一起开发“塑造者”驻地。该项目将创建一个自愿环境管理方法工具包，概述关于如何使用这些方法的指导原则、这些方法的道德层面和所吸取的经验教训，并创建一个自愿环境管理影响和政策工具包，利用自愿环境管理促进政策变革和加强影响，以使更广泛的受众参与预防工作，并生成有关支助系统和立法的知识。最后，它将通过学术产出（四篇期刊文章和合著手册）包括一系列更“传统”的社会科学产出。
