“…Accordingly, water and sanitation issues were a common focus of Photovoice studies. In a village in Limpopo Province, South Africa Photovoice was used to understand the community's water needs (Cunningham et al 2009), and the method was used with urban American youth to explore local watershed issues and concerns (Chanse et al 2017). Among women, Photovoice has been used in Usoma, a lakeshore community in Western Kenya (Bisung et al 2015a;Bisung et al 2015b) and with Dar es Salaam mothers in Tanzania (Badowski et al 2011) to explore the nexus of water and health in relation to unsafe water and inadequate sanitation.…”

Utilizing Photovoice to Support Indigenous Accounts of Environmental Change and Injustice

Global environmental changes can happen quickly or over extended periods and have compounding effects. Indigenous communities experience environmental changes that can lead to a decline in quality of life, illness or disease, and unwelcome cultural adaptations that extend to future generations. Due to limited resources and political marginalization, members of these communities may not be able to respond to or prevent these conditions. Cultural connections to the land and community, along with limited resources, impact Indigenous peoples’ willingness and ability to relocate to different geographic locations experiencing less damaging ecological changes or environmental risk. In this article, we respond to the Special Issue prompt probing “[m]ethods in which Indigenous communities engage within their environment and on the land to conduct research”. We begin by describing environmental change, followed by a scoping review of Photovoice studies focused on environmental issues. Environmental changes affecting Indigenous groups are discussed, including a case study and a discussion of the ways that Photovoice can support and honor Indigenous peoples’ connection to the natural environment. This article is not intended to be an exhaustive review, but rather seeks to understand how Photovoice is being used to respond to and document environmental change, and how such visual methodologies can be used in Indigenous communities.

“…Photovoice is a qualitative community-based participatory research method to document and reflect an individuals' experience within a community (Wang et al 1997). Two co-authors brought their expertise using the Photovoice methodology to this project from other environmental justice projects (Aber et al 2017;Brandt et al 2017;Chanse et al 2017). Outcomes of the Photovoice research effort are discussed elsewhere (Biehler et al in prep).…”

Citizen Science: Theory and Practice

Citizen science (CS) has been an increasingly utilized means by which scientists leverage members of the public to increase the amount of data collected and analyzed. However, the underrepresentation of individuals from certain socio-cultural groups can have consequences that can manifest in the scientific outcomes of those CS projects such as biases in the data. Additionally, this underrepresentation can potentially affect long-term viability and support of CS as a community of practice. CS programs that promote greater inclusivity would likely provide opportunities for communities to define, investigate, and address pressing issues in collaboration with professional scientists. In this paper we discuss a CS project that sought to include underrepresented communities in Baltimore, Maryland using Pandya's framework for inclusive CS. While the project met all of its scientific research goals, translating the CS for broader social outcomes in the community proved challenging. Here we highlight perspectives from local community members and research personnel about the barriers to CS engagement, challenges in translating scientific outcomes to social justice efforts, and opportunities to address these barriers in CS program development and design.

“…Among the recommendations to improve the impact of EA, we note that EE programs must work for significant problems for the learner and his/her environment. Also, knowledge of the local environment and the student's active involvement in studying local and tangible environmental problems significantly improves his or her acquisition of environmental knowledge related to science programs as well as his or her motivation to adopt pro-environmental behaviors (Anderson, 2012;Chanse et al, 2017;El batri et al, 2019;Higde, Oztekin, & Sahin, 2017;Tugurian et al, 2017;Saribas et al, 2017). On the other hand, effective programs must be spread over time.…”

“…• Work for environmental problems that are significant to the environment (Hungerford & Volk, 1990, p. 14) and meaningful to the learner (Chanse et al, 2017;Luke, 2001;Russell & Bell, 1996). This is achieved by involving the student through the various phases of the realization of the environmental project of their school since the conceptualization and the programming until the implementation of the project.…”

The study aims to promote relevant and effective environmental education (EE) through extracurricular clubs. For this, we studied the state of play of environmental activities (EA) carried out by 48 environmental clubs belonging to urban and rural areas of the Regional Academy of Education Fez-Meknes, Morocco. These extracurricular environmental clubs remain so far without formal environmental education programs. In this study, we identified the bulk of programs offered by extracurricular environment clubs, including types of scheduled activities and percentages of achievement and student beneficiaries in urban and rural settings. In addition, we have identified the main barriers to achieving certain environmental activities. The significant correlations de tected between some of the variables studied allowed us to better explain the achievements and the weaknesses of these clubs. Finally, we have made recommendations to promote relevant and effective extracurricular environmental education.
