Description

The Centre for Research & Innovation Support (CRIS) presents the next session in the Drawing Across the Disciplines series. In this session, we explore PhotoVoice a qualitative methodology that uses photography and words of research participants. Developed in the 1990s in the field of public health, PhotoVoice is a visual research method that foregrounds co-created, participatory research and is practiced across various disciplines. Research teams explore questions of privacy, ethics, and community safety whilst using photography in PhotoVoice projects. Please email cris@utoronto.ca if your community partners want to attend this webinar.

As with past the Drawing Across the Discipline sessions, this webinar will be followed by a hands-on, limited enrolment workshop. The workshop will focus on how to explore PhotoVoice in research projects and participants will leave with a draft plan to use the method in their future research.
