Freshman Year: "The Wall"
Senior Year: Photovoice Research Methodology
Photovoice Methodology:
A recent research phenomenon known as Photovoice Methodology has introduced a new way for feminist researchers and advocates to display the subjective experiences of women through photography. It benefits the feminist theory by creating an appreciation of these experiences by working with women rather than on them. It can empower individuals, honor women’s intelligence and value knowledge grounded in experience. Photovoice methodology promotes personal and educational community health by recognizing the significance of women’s personal everyday experiences and by taking a subjective approach to the issue. It allows the focus of the research to be personal and dependent on an individual’s experiences. Arguably the most unique aspect of Photovoice Methodology is that it often results in beneficial programs such as organizations and advocacy groups to help the marginalized group (Photovoice, University of Mass).
