Why are things this way? Visualising life in post-austerity Britain | LSE Research Showcase

Dr Eileen Alexander discusses "Why are things this way?", an exhibition that has been created in collaboration with six residents of Hackney, East London, and artist Andy Sewell. Through a selection of photographs and fragments of text, the artwork engages with experiences of what it is like to live in post-austerity Britain. Eileen explores how the creation of artwork in social policy research offers participants alternative forms of expression, makes ideas accessible to a wider audience, and deepens our understanding of lived experience.
Eileen Alexander is LSE Fellow in Qualitative Methodology in the Department of Methodology, www.lse.ac.uk/Methodology/Peo...
