“…Finally, PCI gave participants a focal point that kept most interviews "on track." This is supported by existing research on photo-elicitation type methods (e.g., Collier, 1957;Collier & Collier, 1986;Harper, 2002;Hurworth, 2004;Mitchell et al, 2016), so Daniel's case from above is not entirely unique. However, the extent to which I was able to use Daniel's photo to maintain his focus suggests that perhaps PCI could be a useful method for engaging informants with learning differences.…”

“…Reflexive photography approaches (see e.g., Douglas, 1998;Harrington & Lindy, 1998) ask participants to take their own photos, which are then used as prompts in a "reflective interview" to gather participants' reactions (Hurworth, 2004, p. 53). Photovoice takes an action research approach and asks participants to take photos and comment upon them, specifically to empower marginalized communities to communicate their needs (see e.g., Mitchell et al, 2016;Wang & Burris, 1999). The proliferation of photo-elicitation type methods points to a well-established belief; photos are a powerful tool for eliciting stories that may have otherwise gone untold from standard interview protocols (Kortegast et al, 2019;Margolis & Zunjarwad, 2018;Mitchell, 2008;Rose, 2016).…”

Background/Context Photos are a powerful tool for eliciting stories that may otherwise go untold in traditional interview formats. Photo-elicitation type methods vary widely in their ontological, epistemological, and teleological orientations, providing different tools for understanding participants’ experiences and interpretations of those experiences. Photo-cued interviewing (PCI) is an emerging approach that adds to the photo-elicitation method milieu, with a specific strength for understanding varied facets of learning. In this paper, I explore how PCI diverges from existing photo-elicitation type methods and how it can be a useful tool for educational researchers interested in understanding more about student learning, particularly in spaces like study abroad. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study Using a case study approach, this manuscript illuminates how PCI can help elicit and (co)develop stories of learning— specifically, narratives that illustrate the learning that resulted from students’ experiences in study abroad programs. Research Design This study draws from interviews and focus groups with 62 secondary and postsecondary students who participated in a variety of study abroad programs. I perform an inductive qualitative analysis to understand how the PCI method helped to (co)develop stories that illustrated what and how students learned during their study abroad programs. Findings/Results PCI helped to (co)develop stories of learning in a number of ways, including: 1) facilitating students’ initial reflections, 2) revealing impact beyond the experience, 3) merging stories of learning to create new narratives and understandings, 4) adding nuance to preliminary stories, and 5) allowing for more focused storytelling. Conclusions/Recommendations I offer PCI as a photo-elicitation method useful for prompting student reflection and learning, understanding how meaning is made from experiences, and reflexively participating in the interview process as a researcher. I also call for greater use of the PCI method in educational research in order to explicate its uses and boundaries.

“…These empirical data accordingly supported resident advocacy efforts that resulted in a major policy win that could limit proliferation of tobacco shops in Los Angeles County. We thus contend that participatory mapping is a powerful, visual mechanism of knowledge production for 1) diagnosing fundamental causes of health and disease, and 2) empowering disadvantaged communities to redress systemic inequities that manifest in health disparities through community organizing and policy change initiatives grounded in resident knowledge of place (8,9).…”

“…Participatory visual methodologies born of community-academic partnerships have been instrumental in identifying these and other place-based inequities in disadvantaged communities (8). Visual methodologies -eg, photovoice, participatory mapping -encourage collaborative, democratic modes of knowledge production, challenging the notion that research is only for highly trained experts (9,10).…”

What is already known on this topic? Systemic social and environmental inequities contribute to uneven health outcomes in disadvantaged communities. Participatory mapping is a powerful visual methodology for partnering with affected communities to develop grounded understandings of community health assets and challenges. What is added by this report? We demonstrate use of participatory mapping as a potent methodology for diagnosing place-based determinants of health disparities, review participatory mapping approaches for public health research and practice, and present a case example of this methodology. What are the implications for public health practice? Participatory mapping is ideally suited to diagnosing upstream determinants of health and prescribing downstream policy interventions that attend to resident interests and needs.

“…These showcasing events offer opportunities for participatory analysis where researchers work with visual texts as tools for dialogue (Theron et al, 2011). Going ‘beyond engagement’ the use of visual methodologies within ethnography expand the life and use of visual productions so that the enable meaningful participation (Mitchell et al, 2016). Appearing in digital form, the artefacts collated and generated within this research were rooted in both online and offline contexts.…”

Researching event-centred projects: Showcasing grounded aesthetics

Showcasing plays a fundamental role in arts education programmes. This paper presents an approach to research scenarios which explore ‘event-centred’ projects. Drawing on arts-based methodologies and research projects, this approach could be extended to the study of seasonal rituals, festivals and other types of organisational settings in which creative work culminates in some type of public display. This paper defines the key features of this method, which draw on Paul Willis’ concept of ‘grounded aesthetics’ and Sarah Pink’s work on the sensorial and embodied experience. I discuss the experimentation with various digital media and documentation strategies which adopt a participatory and collaborative perspective. I focus on how the sensorial, multimodal and collaborative approaches to ethnography are used within event-centred research projects which complement more ‘traditional’ ethnographic approaches. Finally, this paper offers a methodological contribution regarding how to unpack the ‘grounded aesthetics’ of specific contexts and communities.
