This two-day, 2.5-hour workshop covers the basics of Photovoice as a research method, including but not limited to the ethical considerations involved when utilizing the method in research and the background of the method from a historical and practical perspective. This background will be the main focus of the workshop on April 8. The second day of the workshop on April 10 will focus on the practical application of the method to a research project and a hands-on demonstration of how to utilize the method in research. The research project “An Investigation into the Migration Experiences of ASU Community Members through Photovoice Methodology” will be presented by the Transborder 498 Critical Praxis Course, which has been approved by ASU and is currently being developed through IRB protocols. The workshop will illustrate step-by-step processes and methods from the research to accomplish a specific mission of shifting the narrative on the US-Mexico border by amplifying marginalized communities' perspectives. Following the workshop, participants will come away with an understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with utilizing Photovoice in a qualitative or mixed methods study.
