Visual Scribing for Qualitative Inquiry: A Practical Guide for Data Collection, Analysis and Reporting

By Gabriela Alvarado and Catalina Escallon Rosselli

Visual scribing - combining pictures, diagrams and text to synthesise ideas in real time - offers qualitative researchers a powerful tool for participant engagement, collective memory and trust building.

Drawing on real-world case studies, this groundbreaking textbook guides readers from first principles through to analysis and communication. The first of its kind to establish visual scribing as a rigorous participatory research method, it uniquely bridges academic inquiry and graphic design expertise.

The book features:

- Step-by-step guidance for integrating visual scribing into everyday notetaking practice;

- Case studies illustrating applications across diverse research contexts; and

- Analytical frameworks for rigorous, replicable interpretation of scribed illustrations.

An indispensable resource for qualitative researchers, social scientists, research methods educators, and graphic facilitators and scribes alike.
