Participatory Visual and Digital Methods

by Aline Gubrium, Krista Harper

Overview

Gubrium and Harper describe how visual and digital methodologies can contribute to a participatory, public-engaged ethnography. These methods can change the traditional relationship between academic researchers and the community, building one that is more accessible, inclusive, and visually appealing, and one that encourages community members to reflect and engage in issues in their own communities. The authors describe how to use photovoice, film and video, digital storytelling, GIS, digital archives and exhibits in participatory contexts, and include numerous case studies demonstrating their utility around the world.

Editorial Reviews

“Participatory Visual and Digital Methods thoroughly addresses the multiplicity of issues that must be considered by researchers when attempting a PAR project.... The examples of successful projects documented in this book demonstrate that this kind of research is worth pursuing. I have been motivated to rethink my own research both inside and outside the classroom, in order to find ways to include students and teachers, respectively as co-researchers.”
