“A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: The use of photovoice
to facilitate empowerment”
Photovoice
is an innovative participatory research method in
which people can identify, represent, and enhance their
experiences with specific photographic techniques. Individuals
with disabilities, people who are homeless, and youth who are
often disenfranchised have the least access to those who make
decisions about their lives. By entrusting cameras to these groups,
photovoice enables people to act as recorders and potential catalysts
for social action and change in their own lives and communities.
Presenters include Alexandra Bowers and Maria Paiewonsky. Access
