This handbook is a large volume at 754 pages and a traditional approach to a book review would have been difficult. For this reason, we have chosen to draw out a few key themes that arose from our group discussion of the book. These themes relate to what we felt to be forward thinking in the handbook, but also to points that need problematising further. As a group of early career academics new to social sciences, we found many of the issues raised in the handbook were interesting to reflect on. As we are also trained art historians, designers and architects now working in education, the book summarises much of what we have found in our transition from visual-based disciplines to the social sciences. This also relates to what it is to be from a generation that has grown up with images playing a large part of the way in which we make meaning, going into a group of established social science academics used to working with words. We feel that this handbook is a great resource for thinking about many of these issues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
