“…After an initial period of participant observation in Polish businesses and Catholic churches, Dunlop and Ward invited research participants to a photography workshop. At the conclusion of the workshop the researchers asked for volunteer participants and invited them to make pictures that “represented what was sacred to them” over a week (Dunlop and Ward 2012:436). In addition to one-on-one interviews in which they discussed the photographs they took, participants met for focus groups and created collages using pictures from the internet.…”

Visual research methods—image-based techniques for collecting, analyzing, and explaining data—are not mainstream in the social scientific study of religion. Few sociologists employ them, fewer still to study religion. While mainstream qualitative and quantitative methods have much to offer, words and numbers alone may miss important dimensions of religion and spirituality in the contemporary world. This research note provides an overview of work on the most commonly used visual research technique in the sociology of religion: photo elicitation (PE). We frame our essay around four questions. What is visual sociology? What is photo elicitation? How has PE been used in the social scientific study of religion? And how else could this technique be utilized in religious research?

“…Citing Davie (2006), this experience is depicted as a move from a context of religious obligation to one of religious consumption (Dunlop and Ward 2012, 439). Yet, for these young Christians in Glasgow, English universities and from Poland, religiosity is influenced by parents, peers and community: it is more than an individual choice or a question of religious transmission from parent to child (Dunlop and Ward 2012;Hopkins et al 2010a;Sharma and Guest 2013).…”

“…Working with young economic migrants living on the south coast of England from a country with a large Catholic majority, Poland, Dunlop and Ward (2012) found, in their Programme project, these young Christians to be variously impressed by the relative plurality and secularity of life in the UK, with the possibilities for rethinking their religious identity this opened up, and finding this a challenge.…”

What can we say about today's British religious young person? Findings from the AHRC/ESRC Religion and Society Programme

Since the late 20th century, research linking youth and religion has begun to grow. Such growth has been given a particular boost in the UK by the AHRC/ESRC Religion and Society Programme. This article addresses what we can say about today's British religious young person through review of new research findings from the Programme. One certainly can no longer assume that a British religious young person is a practising Christian. He or she is likely to engage with a range of offline and online resources in order to learn more about their faith, and feel some tensions between their commitments and engagement with wider society. Social class and other factors will affect his or her capacity to engage with religion and civil society. Like their non-religious peers, today's British religious young person values relationships and authenticity. Tensions between structure and agency in our neoliberal age emerge through their stories.

“…Participant‐generated photo‐elicitation usually involves inviting participants to take pictures, then discuss them during a subsequent interview or in a focus group. This approach can provide participants with the opportunity to bring their content and interests into research (Dunlop & Ward, 2012 ; Gou & Shibata, 2017 ). The student requested the members of his parish in a rural community to gather evidence that the community practiced a sound waste management system.…”

This article reflects on the process, challenges, and opportunities of conducting a graduate‐level class in environmental philosophy for Catholic priests who were seminary formators in the time of pandemic in the Philippines. The final output of the course is a participatory action research project. I developed an engaged pedagogical framework, which draws from the works of Jennifer Ayres that incorporated theological, philosophical, and ecological principles in teaching and facilitating students' research. The development of the tenets, the flourishing of all, right relations, and praxis began from a deep engagement with my students whose influence in the religious and cultural lives of the Filipinos could add to the flourishing of ecological consciousness of the Catholic community in the Philippines.
