“…Considering how to nurture such engagement is a crucial step in fostering ethnographic media in the service of a more public anthropology (Checker ; Collins and Durington ; Collins et al. ; Gubrium and Harper ). In the end, although the challenges of doing such work may be daunting, transmedia ethnography raises possibilities for addressing some of the questions that have long plagued critical anthropologists interested in exploring (and transforming) the web of unequal relationships at the heart of ethnography and for fostering anthropology as a form of critique (Marcus and Fischer ) that can take on some of the growing inequalities of our era.…”

“…See also Collins and Durington , Collins et al. , and Gubrium and Harper . Although these works do not specifically address the kind of transmedia projects discussed here, they consider anthropological engagement with digital formats and online networks in ways intended to foster more open and participatory research as well as more “public” forms of anthropology.…”

Transmedia as experimental ethnography: The Exit Zero Project, deindustrialization, and the politics of nostalgia

How might “transmedia” approaches—or working across media—fit into histories of textual and visual innovation within anthropology, and what might they contribute to the discipline in the current moment? I explore this question through the Exit Zero Project, which includes a book, documentary film, and planned interactive website that examine the impact of deindustrialization on Southeast Chicago and the relationship between industrial job loss and expanding class inequalities in the United States. While the book and film take an “autoethnographic” approach, the website is based on collaboration with a local museum. I argue that transmedia ethnography both provokes new research questions and supports a growing interest in public anthropology by offering diverse spaces for engagement with subjects and audiences.

“…There is extensive research in the field of participatory visual methods that shows that young people can play a major role in identifying their needs and suggesting practical solutions (Conrad & Kendal, 2009;Gubrium & Harper, 2013;MacDonald et al, 2011aMacDonald et al, , 2011bReich et al, 2017). In their book, Learning From the Ground Up, Choudry and Kapoor (2010) examine many instances of grassroots movements that provided a platform for political activists and social scientists to challenge and to some extent dismantle an NGO's, state's, and governments' act that on the surface seemed to benefit marginalized groups.…”

“…By that we refer to building in a meta-level to our work with participants and with other researchers" (p. 89). This approach is informed by the work of Gubrium and Harper (2013) and especially their involvement of the research community itself (i.e., visual researchers) in studying the overall effectiveness of participatory visual methodologies by looking back facilitated by a series of one-on-one interviews. In their book, Participatory and Digital Methodologies, for example, they draw on interviews with various participatory visual researchers as a way to study issues such as ethics and community engagement.…”

Exploring the Impact of Youth-Produced Images on Family, Community, and Policy

There is increasing scholarly attention to the creative ways in which young people are engaging in policy dialogue. Yet what other ways may we study the impact of youth-produced images on audiences? Here, we explore the role that visual researchers occupy as audiences to youth-led participatory visual work addressing critical issues. Drawing on qualitative research approaches in autoethnography, we use a methodology of researcher reflexivity to invite visual researchers through semistructured interviews to position themselves with respect to youth-produced images of sexual violence, refugee experience, and colonial trauma. In shifting our attention from studying the privileged position of researchers with respect to facilitating participatory visual research, we learn about the researcher's privileged perspective on how other audiences may view the work, such as policy makers and community and family members. This study highlights some ethical and methodological considerations of facilitating dialogue between youth and various stakeholders on the critical issues impacting the lives of young people.

“…First developed by visual anthropologists and visual sociologists, photo elicitation has also been used in education research (Harper, 2002). Gubrium and Harper (2013) traced the development of photovoice, a participatory action research model of photo elicitation methods in education, to Brazilian educator Paolo Freire. In this study, we did not engage in a participatory action research approach and instead opted for a method that allowed students to share their stories of college-going and college choice through both photography and individual interviews guided by the photos they produced.…”

This study identifies and explores social influences on the college choice process of Filipino American and Southeast Asian American high school seniors in an urban Midwestern setting. In an effort to contribute more depth to the knowledge regarding college choice among Filipino Americans and Southeast Asian Americans, this study engaged seven high school seniors in a photo elicitation study, allowing the students to tell their own stories of their pathways to college. Photos and follow-up interviews indicated that the students explicitly acknowledged kinship and peer networks as playing the most influential roles in the college choice process. Gender differences were found in how students understood their college choice experiences. Though not explicitly recognized by students in this study, college preparatory support programs and resources in the students' schools also provided important supports in navigating college-going systems.
