PurposeThe goal of this study is to explore an immediate step in understanding the lived experiences of under-represented students through metaphor construction and possibly collect more in-depth data through photograph-based interviews.Design/Methodology/ApproachThis article introduced photo-elicitation based narrative interviews as a qualitative methodology while interviewing fourteen undergraduate community college students mostly from underrepresented groups (URGs). At the beginning of each interview, the authors probed the participants with 8 photographs chosen by the research team to represent a diverse set of experiences in engineering. The authors conducted a thematic analysis of the interview data.FindingsThe findings suggested that the inclusion of photo-elicitation often catalyzed consumption of representations, images, metaphors, and voice to stories passed unnoticed; and finally produces more detailed descriptions and complements semi-structured narrative interviews.Research Limitations/ImplicationsThis study advances the scholarship that extends photograph driven interviews/photo elicitation methodology while interviewing marginalized population and offers a roadmap for what a multi-modal, arts-based analysis process might look like for in-depth interviews.Practical ImplicationsThe use of photo-elicitation in our research enabled a deeper, more poignant exploration of the URG students' experience of navigating engineering. The participants were able to relate to the photographs and shared their life narratives through them; hence, use of photographs can be adapted in future research.Social ImplicationsOur research revealed that PEI has excellent potential to capture marginalized narratives of URGs, which is not well explored in educational research, specially, in higher education. In our research, PEI promoted more culturally inclusive approaches positioning the participants as experts of their own narratives.Originality/ValueThe study presented in this paper serves as an example of qualitative research that expands methodological boundaries and centers the role of power, marginalization, and creativity in research. This work serves as a unique and important contribution to the photo-elicitation literature, offering a critical roadmap for researchers who are drawn to photo elicitation/photograph driven interviews as a method to explore their inquiry.

The starting premise of visual sociology is that what we see and how we record, interpret, and react to what we see in the social world is no less important than what we say and how we record, interpret, and react to what we say about the social reality. One of the grounding ideas of visual sociology is that “valid scientific insight in society can be acquired by observing, analyzing and theorizing its visual manifestations: behavior of people and material products of culture” (Pauwels 2010: 546). Visual sociology aims to normalize the use of visual imagery as a valid and relevant type of data for sociological research. Visual sociology allows for using mixed methods, where quantitative and qualitative ones show different aspects of the studied phenomenon. Some recent studies on modern media, such as YouTube, demonstrate that both quantitative and qualitative methods can be combined (Vergani & Zuev 2011). One of the important postulates in sociological analyses is consideration of image as data, and not as an illustration or embellishment of a sociological argument. A single image, a sequence of images, and even a repository of images cannot serve as visual sociology arguments in themselves without analyzing them utilizing sociological theory (thereby also developing the theoretical tool). Visual sociological analysis can be also presented with no images at all. Radically speaking, visual sociology can even analyze non‐visual data, for example, when interviewing people on how they create, interpret, and circulate images. In this case visual sociologists analyze data related to the social world around images and not specific images themselves.

BackgroundDespite the importance of home enteral nutrition (HEN), there is a lack of understanding within the medical and general community of how HEN impacts the lives of patients and caregivers. Using a theoretical orientation that attends to the materiality of both everyday and medical objects, we explored patients' and family caregivers' everyday experiences of administering feeds during HEN.MethodsUsing the photo‐elicitation interviewing method, patients on HEN and their family caregivers were asked to take up to 10 photographs to portray material items and activities that they considered foundational to HEN. They subsequently narrated their experiences and the participant‐generated photographs in an interview. Participant‐generated photographs (126) and accompanying narratives were analyzed using layered analysis, and results were theorized with attention to both social and material significance of HEN.ResultsPatients and caregivers detailed overcoming misconceptions of HEN, and through their use of photographs, they conveyed their expertise in developing their own HEN feeding systems and practices, that used both the material artifacts provided by the hospital (the tube, syringe, and formula) as well as everyday material items found in the patient's home. More than this, photographs and patient narratives depicted intimate involvement of patients' families in tube feeding. This yielded a more comprehensive understanding of the material and experiential realities of HEN.ConclusionHome enteral nutrition was found to be a shared familial experience, that in addition to requiring medical equipment also incorporated ordinary material artifacts within the social setting of the home and family life. To more accurately convey the material, experiential, and social realities of HEN to future patients, our findings underscore the importance of drawing on both visual and textual forms of patient‐produced information in the development of HEN patient educational materials.
