International Visual Sociology Association

The International Visual Sociology Association (IVSA) is a global organization dedicated to exploring how visual methods—such as photography, video, and images—can be used to study and understand society and human behavior. It brings together researchers, students, and practitioners interested in using visual tools to uncover social insights, communicate ideas, and foster social change. The IVSA encourages collaboration, sharing of visual research, and discussions about the ethical and effective use of visual materials in social sciences. Its goal is to enhance understanding of social phenomena through visual storytelling and analysis.
