Photovoice research is a participatory qualitative research method where participants photograph themselves, then analyzing them to document and reflect upon their experiences and perspectives on a specific topic, often with the goal of raising awareness and advocating for change. It empowers participants by giving them control over the research process and their own narratives.

Photovoice: Using Words and Images in Qualitative Research is a collection of essays from the field that focuses on educators’ implementation of photovoice in a myriad of settings. This methodology crosses disciplines and offers a powerful way to combine visual methods with social research, making it adaptable to many areas where understanding and representing marginalized voices are important.

Photovoice is the perfect text for use in a variety of classrooms and courses, including:

  • Introduction to Qualitative Research Methods
  • Community Studies (understanding how visual methods like photovoice can help researchers gain insight into the lived experiences of people within a community)
  • Public Health (photovoice is a valuable method for understanding health disparities, the impact of the environment on health)
  • Education (when studying participatory learning, student engagement, or community-based education. It would also be useful in teacher training programs focusing on inclusive and culturally responsive teaching.)
  • Anthropology (courses on qualitative research or ethnography, photovoice allows for a deeper understanding of cultural and social dynamics through the visual representation of people's lived experiences)
  • Selected topics in Educational Research
  • Place-Based Education
