Zine Making as Method 

In this hands-on workshop, we'll explore the possibilities of zines (DIY publications, often materially similar to a booklet, pamphlet, or magazine) within research. After looking at some different ways other researchers have used zines, including as a reflective practice, a participatory creative method, a response to archives, and as a route for dissemination, we'll make our own individual and collaborative zines and consider how we might use zines and zine making practices within our own research.
