VREIA Conference 2025

The inaugural conference of the International Association of Video Reflexive Ethnographers brings together scholars from across the globe, to discuss video reflexive ethnography.

---

The program includes keynote presentations from Professor Rick Iedema,  Independent Scholar,  and Professor Verena Thomas  from Edith Cowan University, along with presentations from delegates from Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Canada.

The 2025 Video Reflexive Ethnography conference offers VRE practitioners the opportunity to reflect on more than a decade of ground-breaking research, during which the methodology has driven insights and impacts in health and other disciplines. In particular, video-reflexivity has enabled researchers to embrace, account for, and gain traction with complexity in practice, across multiple settings. 

Video-reflexive ethnography is a methodology that bridges academic and professional practice. While exploring VRE’s past, present and future, we also examine further opportunities for VRE in engagement with other methods, disciplines and approaches. 

Together, we will explore and discuss this innovative research methodology, fostering rich dialogues and collaborations. We look forward to your participation in what promises to be a groundbreaking and inspiring conference.
