Representations is a collection of original fiction and photography
produced by undergraduate students from the Sociology Department at
Warwick University. Engaging stories and arresting images are used to
consider innovative means whereby students can research, write, and
represent sociological ideas.

Representations will appeal to students and academics working within all
areas of Sociology, especially those with an interest in the politics of
representation using literary and visual methods.

Representations is a significant demonstration of the possibilities for
linking teaching, research and learning within Higher Education.

Representations shows the potential of undergraduate students
embedded in a discipline, who are research active and committed to
disseminating their own and one another’s work.If you would like a copy of the book, please contact IATL: IATL at warwick dot ac dot uk
