Photo voice and photo-elicitation offer creative approaches for student engagement in active pedagogy and participatory research methodologies for generating person-centred and connected insights. Photo imagery can provide effective tools for tapping into sensory awareness and facilitating reflexive learning on human situations from learning to practice with empathy to understanding and empowering marginalised and disadvantaged groups.
Dr. Maggie Hutchings will share experiences of using photo-elicitation as a powerful trigger for learning and for enriching research methodology. This method of seeing, imagining, and sharing promotes critical dialogue and reflection, and elicits embodied ways of knowing, distinct yet frequently hidden, in the humanising connectivity with people’s lived experiences, unwrapped and gifted to others.
You will have the opportunity to explore and experience the method by being invited to select images from a pack provided, to consider what they mean to you, and share your responses. The workshop will conclude with a discussion to draw out key questions and reflections on the method and process.
By the end of the workshop, you will gain:
- Knowledge of the strengths and limitations of photo voice and photo-elicitation as a method.
- Experience of how photographic imagery can evoke memories, emotions and connections.
- Appreciation of photo-elicitation as a rich pedagogical resource and data collection method for evoking narrative and revealing the unspoken.
