“…For example, Marshall et al (2019) facilitated photovoice to expand understanding of the social determinants of health and implement the community readiness model for action planning with a rural community. Additional SEM examples include the Picture Me Tobacco Free photovoice project (Strack et al, 2010), evaluation of the Missouri AgrAbility Project (Mott et al, 2017), exploration of competitive sports among young athletes with disabilities (Aytur et al, 2018), and exploration of risk and protective factors for substance abuse in Ghana (Kabore et al, 2019). We hoped that an ecologically grounded photovoice project would yield insight and recommendations for reducing or eliminating breastfeeding barriers across multiple levels of influence.…”

Barriers to breastfeeding for Black mothers are well documented in the literature. Local context is crucial for understanding and addressing barriers. Our research used the photovoice method to amplify the voices of Black mothers in Chatham County, Georgia. Guided by the sociol-ecological model, this photovoice project explored and identified the social, cultural, and physical barriers to breastfeeding that the mothers experienced. Two additional themes emerged through data analysis: personal comfort with public breastfeeding and the women’s recommendations for breastfeeding support and normalization. Lack of physical spaces, lack of peer and family support, the need to overcome the stigma associated with breastfeeding, and advocating for more lactation spaces were commonly stated by the participants. These results led to the creation of a policy toolkit, a breastfeeding policy template, a proclamation to make the City of Savannah a Breastfeeding Family Friendly Community, an online photobook to share the experiences of the mothers, and additional paths of dialogue to increase inclusivity and expand health equity within Chatham County.

“…Scholars and community-based organizations have used photovoice as a research and empowerment tool with a range of underserved and under-represented populations. However, we are only aware of three photovoice projects in the English-language scientific literature on agricultural health and safety topics (De Castro, Krenz, and Neitzel 2014 ; Schwartz et al 2015 ; Mott, Keller, and Funkenbusch 2017 ), one of which included children, a protected group in research ethics committee (REC) 2 regulatory frameworks. None provided an in-depth description of the planning and deployment of the methods.…”

Navigating the Ethical and Methodological Dimensions of a Farm Safety Photovoice Project

2023

Scholars have noted persistent high rates of agricultural health and safety incidents and the need to develop more effective interventions. Participatory research provides an avenue to broaden the prevailing research paradigms and approaches by allowing those most impacted to illuminate and work to solve those aspects of their lives. One such approach is photovoice, an emancipatory visual narrative approach. Yet, despite its broad appeal, photovoice can be hard to implement. In this article, we leverage our experience using photovoice for a farm children safety project to describe and reflect on the ethical and methodological aspects broadly relevant to agricultural health and safety topics. We first contextualize the tensions of navigating between photovoice, the research ethics committees (RECs) regulatory frameworks, and competing views on visual representations in agriculture. We then discuss the sources of risks to participants and researchers, how we addressed these risks, and how these risks unfolded during the research phase of the photovoice activity. We conclude with three lessons we (re)learned: the importance of collaborating with RECs, the need to increase preparation to limit psychological risks to participants and researchers, and avenues to augment the emancipatory power of photovoice in a virtual environment.

“…A farmer's auto-ethnography (Kuehne, 2013) describes his experience of selling his farm, focusing on his feelings of identity loss, meaning, and purpose. Similar thoughts have been shared by farmers who felt they were losing the ability to farm due to a life-altering accident (Mott, Funkenbusch, & Keller, 2017). A farm life represents much more than economic gain; it is indeed part of a farmer's social identity.…”

“…As suggested in an evaluation of farmers involved in the AgrAbility program, the culture of farm families is unique because daily farm work is embedded in the family, or family is embedded in daily work on the farm; it is hard to say which (Mott, Keller & Funkenbusch, 2017). Working together to provide the necessary labor, farm families develop identities that are not limited by boundaries of age or time.…”

What is the meaning of livestock production for long-standing 4-H members? : a hermeneutic phenomenological study

Raising livestock for food production is a unique cultural phenomenon. It has been well documented that showing livestock as part of 4-H (a positive youth development program operating in 50 nations around the world) contributes to practical skills, knowledge, and life skills. While it is common to view livestock production through skills-based or economic lenses, there are subtle nuances of the phenomenon, the social, cultural, and emotional aspects that are harder to capture. The purpose of this study was to generate an interpretation of the meaning of livestock production for long-standing 4-H livestock project members, as well as to uncover how these project experiences manifest in other aspects of members' lives. This project answers the question, "What does it mean to be a livestock producer?" Based on the assumption that understanding is rooted in lived experience, a Heideggerian Hermeneutic approach was used to examine transcripts of in-depth audio recorded interviews with 4-H members who are high school juniors or seniors and have been enrolled in livestock projects throughout their entire 4-H careers. In an additional photo elicitation activity, participants' reflections on livestock photographs from their childhood were examined. Two overarching patterns, paradoxical in nature, were uncovered: a) Livestock Production as a Culture of Care and Connection; and b) Livestock Production as a Culture of Loss and Misunderstanding. Patterns illuminated in this research will help inform and enhance both formal and non-formal educational experiences surrounding youth livestock production. This study will also add to agriculture industry's understanding of how youth experience growing up in livestock production. Finally, this study provides insight into the importance of continuing to explore the ways livestock producers engage with consumers about agriculture.
