“…Additionally, photovoice engages individuals through questions that reflect on their community issues, historic, and social situations [ 52 ]. Lastly, this type of documentary photography is based on the premise that individuals become empowered to reflect on and instill change in their communities through visuals [ 34 , 53 ]. Thus, photovoice is a successful and effective method to empower marginalized communities to address the inequities they face [ 34 ].…”

The act of decolonizing knowledge systems involves recovering and renewing traditional, non-commodified cultural patterns, such as the sustenance of intergenerational relationships and traditional practices. A decline in beaver harvesting, which was once an integral part of the Omushkego Cree culture, has resulted in an overabundance of beavers and dams, which has negatively affected communities by increasing the local flooding events and impacting the water quality. The aim of the Amisk (beaver) program was to reconnect the Elders and youth to revitalize traditional on-the-land activities and, in the present case, beaver harvesting and associated activities within the community. The program and evaluation were built using a two-eyed seeing (Etuaptmumk) and community-based participatory research approach. Salivary cortisol, a biomedical measure of stress, was collected before and after participation in the program. Photovoice, along with semi-directed interviews, were employed to identify the key elements of well-being from a First Nations’ perspective. For the beaver harvesting activities, the changes observed in the cortisol concentrations were not statistically significant (p = 0.094). However, the act of beaver dam removal was associated with a statistically significant increase in the post-participation cortisol concentration (p = 0.021). It was noteworthy that increased stress during the removal of the beaver dams–as indicated by the elevated post-activity cortisol levels–were not reflected in a decrease in the qualitative measures (semi-directed interviews and photovoice) of well-being from an Indigenous perspective. In fact, there was a noted increase in the subjective well-being of the participants, which highlights the importance of multiple perspectives when assessing well-being, especially in Indigenous peoples. However, the cortisol findings of the present pilot project need to be interpreted with caution, due to the limited sample sizes.

“…Muzzio (2021) applies photography to analyze two experiences of creative cities approved by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in the Brazilian Northeast: Fortaleza, in the Design category, and João Pessoa, in the Handicraft category, as well as the respective contributions to the consolidation of these cities as centers of creativity. Li, Prasad, Smith, Gutierrez, Lewis and Brown (2019) uuse photography to analyze the formation of bonds between a Canadian community and the sociocultural, natural, and political environment, highlighting the role of visual resources in consolidating the pride of this community. Byrne, Cave and Raymer (2021) use photography through coding to unravel an organization's culture through its artifacts.…”

“…Since its origins in the social field, the method has expanded to various fields of knowledge (Pain, 2012). However, despite recent growth in interest (Li, Prasad, Smith, Gutierrez, Lewis, & Brown, 2019), such expansion has not been applied to its potential in the organizational field (Greenwood, Jack, & Haylock, 2019;Meyer, Höllerer, Jancsary, & van Leeuwen, 2013;Shortt, 2015). Moreover, the photographic method has even been neglected, as Davison, McLean and Warren (2012) argued, although these authors emphasize that there has been a recent growth in interest among researchers.…”

Objective: to discuss the use of the photographic method to produce evidence in organizational research and contribute to the debate so that the method achieves greater legitimacy from the nuances that delimit the organizational field. Proposal: present characteristics, approaches of the photographic method, limitations, and possibilities of its application as a means of producing evidence in organizational research with rigor, relevance, accuracy, and impact, discussing practical aspects of photographic analysis and the dilemmas that accompany the researcher in its use. Examples of reflections helpful to researchers when using photographic analysis are also presented. Conclusions: given the restricted use of photography in organizational research, the reduced scope of articles published with photographic analysis, and the potential that the method has to produce evidence, the essay encourages actors in the field to expand the use of photography. Moreover, the article discusses how photography can achieve more significant space among researchers, editors, reviewers, and readers. Given the broad theoretical and methodological scope in which photography can be applied and the contemporary technological facilities, overcoming this reduced use is more related to the need for greater legitimacy of photography by peers than the specifics of the method.

“…Multi-method inquiry can facilitate triangulation to improve data consistency and generate more valid and reliable analyses by developing understanding from multiple angles and entry points into participants’ experiences (Copeland & Agosto, 2012). Further, Li et al (2019), who used a combination of photo and video to capture community perspectives, urged business and social science scholars to “further explore the value of innovative community-based research approaches in future work” (p. 377) to actively engage participants in research studies.…”

Community-Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) is used in a variety of disciplines, including community development. However, intergenerational CBPAR research, particularly when using visual methods, has been uncommon in fields outside of those in the health domain. Given the success with which some health-related studies with vulnerable youth and adults from disadvantaged regions have applied this kind of research, we conducted a study using a similar approach on entrepreneurship and social and economic capacity building in a rural and remote region. Our CBPAR intergenerational multi-methods research project involved youth, adults, seniors, Elders (Indigenous spiritual leaders), and academic researchers as investigative co-leaders seeking findings useful for changing inequitable systems and practices. With these research partners, we employed a carefully selected set of qualitative data collection methods, including a variety of visual methods, designed to produce robust and actionable findings and knowledge mobilization opportunities. Our research design provided a powerful way to triangulate data while engaging with the broader community to co-produce knowledge across generations. One way we did this was through Indigenous language videos, featuring community members of all ages describing their perspectives on social and economic development in their communities. In this article, we describe how and why our intergenerational multi-methods approach helped us verify our data and enabled our partner communities to leverage the findings to enhance local wellbeing. In doing so, we develop the case for using intergenerational multi-methods approaches with visual method elements in business and other disciplines in which these methods are not often used.
