Abstract

Although the medium of comics has a long history, its use as method in research is still in its early stages. This entry begins by outlining the definition and scope of comics. Next, it explores how and why comics might be used within social research. It then discusses potential ethical and practical challenges. Finally, the entry provides practical suggestions to support the use of comics as a research method. This involves making connections with other visual research methods as well as exploring specific affordances of the comics medium
