Today I bought a camcorder. I've reading and investigating a lot recently about the use of video in qualitative research, and as a medium for capturing stories, events, and sharing them afterwards. I'm hoping to video my interviews with immigrants in Toronto who have hosted friends or relatives, and also visit a place of importance with them, perhaps somewhere they took their guests that they really liked, a new neighbourhood for example. I'm also interested in the idea of using video links throughout my thesis and possibly published articles, as supplements to the text and giving the reader a direct view on the discussion. This might have ethical issues, we'll see, but it's a start... Have you ever seen text and video used in this way before? I'm curious in other examples.
