Social equity research requires methodologies that must be innovative, yet rigorous and ethical. Visual methodologies and arts-based research have been shown to successfully engage vulnerable communities and address social equity challenges. This project will bring together visual and arts-based researchers that are successfully employing innovative research methodologies and knowledge engagement strategies. The relevant elements of what makes these methodologies successful and appropriate in addressing social equity challenges will be determined and from this, best practice methodological guidelines developed. This will assist researchers wanting to use visual and arts-based research, as well as ethics committees who review projects utilising these methodologies.
