摘要

This chapter explores photovoice, a participatory method developed by Wang and Burris in 1995 that aims to empower vulnerable populations through storytelling and photography. Following identification of the research question and objectives, the process begins with training participants on on-camera use and discussing ethical issues. Participants called co-researchers take photographs representing their daily experiences, challenges, and aspirations. These images are then discussed in group settings, promoting deeper reflection and understanding. Researchers identify common themes and insights by analyzing the narratives. Ethical considerations are essential. Next co-researchers strategically identify how to disseminate their findings to key stakeholders. By the end of this chapter, readers will learn how to use photovoice in their research ethically and effectively, gaining insights into practical implementation steps and the method’s transformative potential for fostering social change and community empowerment.
