I'm really glad that I contacted Natasa Lackovic and that I took time to speak to her during her time at Edinburgh University earlier this year. From what I know of Natasa she is a shining star in her field therefore, just as with members of the MSc in E-Learning team and with Michael and Jeremy, I'm going to try to learn as much from her as possible. It was really good then to get a reply to the message that I sent on Friday, including the offer to continue our discussions. 
Hello James,

So nice to hear from you! Thank you for writing and for your kind words.

Your dissertation topic sounds very interesting! I would like to know more about it. In my presentation I won't talk about multimodal analysis, but I have read a lot of material on multimodality and multimodal analysis and happy to suggest some readings but I am sure you already know many of those readings.

I am preparing a presentation that deals with visual research methods in general, pointing at some things to be considered when doing such a type or research and will provide an example of photo elicitation based research (it is the paper on national identity formation and textbook images, I can send you an updated paper). When it comes to analysing data, I like structural frameworks such as the semiotic one which distinguishes between image materiality and its descriptive value, its meaning and the object it represents (of course not as separate entities but working at the same time). It is useful for what I have been doing in my thesis. But yes, feel free to contact me if I can be of any help for your dissertation research.

Yes, "see" you soon (on the 20th for an online discussion but the screen cast presentation will be uploaded earlier).

Kind regards,

Natasa

This evening I've replied to Natasa thanking her and taking up her offer of some suggested reading within multimodality. I've also said that I'll get in touch again to discuss my research once it's a bit more formed.
