Ko wai Au? Who am I? Examining the multiple identities of Māori youth

A Systematic Methods Review of Photovoice Research with Indigenous Young People

“…The studies conducted in Australia identified participants as Aboriginal (Liew et al, 2022), and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Johnston et al, 2012; Kaplun et al, 2016; Savuro et al, 2022). In the two Aotearoa New Zealand studies participants were identified as Māori (Faircloth et al, 2016; Jones et al, 2013). For the 14 studies conducted in the United States, participants were identified predominantly as Native American (Banyard et al, 2020; Jennings & Lowe, 2013; Minthorn & Marsh, 2016; Williamson et al, 2020), American Indian (Cueva et al, 2020; Kelly, 2017; Markus, 2012) and Native Hawaiian (Aparicio et al, 2021; Helm et al, 2015; Uchima et al, 2021).…”

“…Many studies did not describe the type of training, if any, provided to participants before commencing Photovoice participation (Banyard et al, 2020; Cooper, 2022; Goodman et al, 2018; Hudson et al, 2020; Jardine & James, 2012; Johnson et al, 2020; Kaplun et al, 2016; Lines & Jardine, 2019; McHugh et al, 2013; Minthorn & Marsh, 2016; Sloan Morgan et al, 2022). For those that did, most provided an initial training session, which commonly included instruction on operating cameras, photography principles, ethical considerations (including gaining consent to take photos of people), and discussion around the topic of interest (Aparicio et al, 2021; Banyard et al, 2020; Cueva et al, 2020; Edwards et al, 2022; Faircloth et al, 2016; Genius et al, 2015; Goodman et al, 2019; Helm et al, 2015; Jennings & Lowe, 2013; Jennings et al, 2020; Johnston et al, 2012; Jones et al, 2013; Kelly, 2017; Markus, 2012; Philip et al, 2022; Savuro et al, 2022; Shea J et al, 2011; Tremblay et al, 2018; Uchima et al, 2021; Victor et al, 2022; Weinronk et al, 2018). Two studies reported only outlining the vision or context of the project (Hatala et al, 2020; Liew et al, 2022; Young et al, 2013), while one provided guidance on things not to photograph (Hayhurst et al, 2015).…”

“…While the number of photos per participant was usually 10 photos or less, one study requested participants include between 20–30 photos (Hatala et al, 2020; Njeze et al, 2020). Many studies did not report restriction of photo number for discussion (Cooper, 2022; Edwards et al, 2022; Faircloth et al, 2016; Genius et al, 2015; Jardine & James, 2012; Johnston et al, 2012; Jones et al, 2013; Kaplun et al, 2016; Kelly, 2017; Lines & Jardine, 2019; Savuro et al, 2022; Shea J et al, 2011; Sloan Morgan et al, 2022; Weinronk et al, 2018; Williamson et al, 2020).…”

“…While not reported in several studies (Cooper, 2022;Cueva et al, 2020;Faircloth et al, 2016;Genius et al, 2015;Hanemaayer et al, 2020;Hayhurst et al, 2015;Hudson et al, 2020;Jennings & Lowe, 2013;Johnson et al, 2020;Johnston et al, 2012;Jones et al, 2013;Lines & Jardine, 2019;Minthorn & Marsh, 2016;Savuro et al, 2022;Sloan Morgan et al, 2022;Tremblay et al, 2018), the length of time participants were allocated to take their photos ranged from less than a day (Kaplun et al, 2016;Shea J et al, 2011;Young et al, 2013), to several days or weeks (Aparicio et al, 2021;Banyard et al, 2020;Edwards et al, 2022;Goodman et al, 2018Goodman et al, , 2019Hatala et al, 2020;Helm et al, 2015;Jardine & James, 2012;Jennings et al, 2020;Kelly, 2017;Liew et al, 2022;Markus, 2012;McHugh et al, 2013;Philip et al, 2022;Uchima et al, 2021;Victor et al, 2022;Weinronk et al, 2018;Williamson et al, 2020). One study ran for 1 year, including seasonal cycles of photo-taking and sharing (Hatala et al, 2020).…”

Learning Across the Chasm

“…Yet, given its centrality in identity, we know that culture is always critical to effective interventions. The ways young people come to understand themselves in relation to the world around them is fundamentally shaped by culture (Dolby, 2001; Faircloth et al, 2015). Speaking and listening occurs in a cultural context.…”
