PHOTOVOICE ACTIVITY

Community Engagement Phase

Photovoice is a participatory photographic research method. It asks neighbors to take photographs that represent their individual perspectives and lived experiences. These pictures are then shared back with others and discussed to discover connecting themes. Narratives or stories explaining the significance of the pictures can be attached to the photographs, but all efforts are used to maintain confidentiality among research participants and researchers when results are shared with broader audiences. Students will reflect on all the data they collect with the hope that they gain a deep understanding of the community and feel the concerns and emotions of its residents.
