Frederick Weil
Visual Sociology

email: fweil@lsu.edu

I went to art school (the School of the Art Institute of Chicago) between undergraduate and graduate school, and visual sociology gives me a chance to combine some of my interests.

Note: This work does not necessarily involve systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge. Some of it is closer to artwork or filmmaking. That distinction might or might not matter to you. But it can matter in the administration of research. Just planting the flag.
