Photovoice Remix
Come engage in discussion about photovoice with local experts and practitioners!
Photovoice is a “community-based participatory action research method designed to uncover the root causes of community problems” (Strack, Lovelace, Jordan, & Holmes, 2010, p. 629). Photovoice invites people to take photos of their community that represent an issue or focus, select strong photos, and write captions for them (Massengale, Strack, Orsini, & Herget, 2016). The ideal aim of Photovoice is to hold public presentations/exhibits and advocate to community leaders to address issues of concern. Learn more about photovoice with this brief summary.
At this Photovoice Remix event, small group discussion topics will range from photovoice 101, to pedagogical application, to advancing the methodology. Anyone is welcome to attend (community members, students, faculty, staff, administrators, etc.). Lunch will be provided at noon! Please RSVP.
The event will take place on Friday, October 4th 12:00 p.m.-3:00p.m. at UNC Greensboro in the Elliott University Center, Kirkland room.
This session is part of the Community Engagement Speaker Series co-sponsored by the Institute for Community and Economic Engagement and the Office of Leadership and Civic Engagement.
