Background

"The most recent Photovoice project is taking place at Wydown Middle School as a dual project between Mr. Kastner's Computer Art and Photography class and Dr. Pierce's writer's workshop class" - although informative, this either needs more detail, or I will eventually remove it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Erocifellerskank (talk • contribs) 20:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article Evaluation

After reviewing the article, I have noticed that the facts were referenced from peer-reviewed journals and presentations from appropriate meetings. However as already noted, there are some areas which requires citation. The links in the article all work, the article has been updated last in 2015 and the information does not seem too out of date (infromation from 1988 to 2015), but recent information could be added. The article is relevant to the article topic and has effectively showed what it is, who uses it, and how it came to be but could use more information in the other subsections.

While trying to find the reference for the text as shown below: Photovoice is often used by marginalized groups to provide insight into how they conceptualize their circumstances and their hopes for the future. [citation needed] As a form of community consultation, photovoice attempts to bring the perspectives of those "who lead lives that are totally different from those traditionally in control of the means of imaging the world" into the policy-making process. ^[1] I found out that it was plagarized from the following: ^[2] The exact words were copied from the 3rd slide of Amanda Yate's presentation "Photovoice: The Elder Experience".

Again while trying to find the reference for the following: The concept has similarities with ideas propagated by Paulo Freire regarding critical consciousness, feminist theory and empowerment.[citation needed] ^[3] I found out that the same sentence was displayed in example sentences for the word critical consciousness ^[4]

Suggested introduction with references for Photovoice page Photovoice, a qualitative methodological tool, was named by researchers Caroline Wang and Mary Ann Burris in the early 1990’s. Originally called photo novella, Wang and Burris describe it as a process by which people can identify their community through photographs. [1][2]This methodology is considered to be community-based, participatory action research. This methodology has been intended for use with people who are not in positions of power to reach those who are making decisions that affect their lives.[2] The purposes are to enable people to demonstrate and reflect on their community, engage in dialogue about important issues, and inform policy.[1] Researchers describe Photovoice methodology as empowering.[2]

The last two sentences in the first section of the article read as follow, "These narratives are then used to promote dialogue to mobilize and help change-makers (i.e. policymakers) better understand and change the community.[6] Thereby developing effective solutions and programs that address the issues and needs.[7]" The last sentence seems to imply that the promotion of dialogue to better understand issues leads to the development of effective solutions. But one does not necessarily implies the other. Perhaps saying that the dialogue can inform policy makers as they develop solutions would be a more appropriate sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.60.154.110 (talk) 07:56, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New suggested introduction to photovoice page

Introduction and History of photovoice In 1994, two researchers, Caroline Wang and Mary Ann Burris, PhD, published an article titled, “Empowerment through photo novella: Portraits of participation” laying the foundation for the development of photovoice. According to Wang and Burris, the camera used in photo novella is put in the hands of “children, rural women, grassroots workers, and other constituents with little access to those who make decisions over their lives.” (Wang & Burris, 1994, p.171). This research method allows participants to produce photographic documentation of their lives as a tool to encourage action, promote dialogue, and to inform policy. (Wang & Burris, 1994). The historical significance is credited to Brazilian educator Paulo Freire who described education for critical consciousness in that photo novella allows people to show and describe their life conditions as they see them (Freire, 1970). Photo novella (later to be named photovoice) was born out of three theoretical frameworks: empowerment education, feminist theory, and documentary photography (Wang & Burris, 1994).
