Image for Visual Studies

Visual Studies

Visual Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the ways we create, interpret, and understand images and visual culture. It encompasses art, photography, film, digital media, and everyday visuals, exploring their impact on society, identity, and politics. Researchers analyze both the aesthetics of images and the social contexts in which they exist, considering how visuals shape our perceptions and experiences. By studying these interactions, Visual Studies fosters a deeper understanding of how visuals influence communication, culture, and human behavior in various environments.
