◄8. Easter Monday - no class
►10. Qualitative Content Analysis and Thematic Analysis (Kristián Földes)

  • This session moves beyond text-based methods to examine visual methodologies used in the study of international politics and security. It introduces key approaches for analysing visual materials—such as photographs, videos, maps, graphics, and other imagery—as sources of political meaning and evidence. The lecture discusses what visual data can reveal about security practices, identities, and power relations, and it outlines practical considerations for selecting, interpreting, and presenting visual materials in research. It also addresses methodological and ethical challenges specific to working with visual sources.
