4th to 6th February 2026 // Faculty of Arts and Huamnities, University of Porto, Portugal
New Deadline: January 9, 2026
The 1st Winter School “Imagined Territories: Visual Methods and Spatial Narratives” invites us to reflect on the image as both method and narrative — as a means of exploring how people imagine, inhabit, and transform space. Images fix time and make the absent present: they are windows into lived experiences, social tensions, and shared hopes. Over the course of two days, key theoretical and ethical aspects of visual methods will be discussed, alongside practical workshops in which participants will learn and deepen techniques for data collection and analysis. The event is organized by the PhD Club, in articulation with IS-UP and the Department of Sociology of the Faculty of Arts & Humanities of the University of Porto.
Target audience: Anyone (national or international) with an interest in the topics covered.
