Making the Invisible Visible: Interrogating social spaces through photovoice

Hom, John S.

Abstract Details

2010, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Art Education.
This study is a participatory action research project using photovoice in a multicultural curriculum in higher education utilizing visual culture and examining meaning making in our everyday lives. The instructor incorporated an inquiry-based approach in order to address cultural practices that still maintain white privilege in constructing social identities and objectifying minority groups. In combination with building media literacy in interrogating visual texts, photovoice was used to incorporate students in investigations about their personal identities and working in collaboration with community members to address different ways of positioning oneself in understanding the “American experience.” Photovoice is an investigatory model that incorporates student voices into (re)presenting their views and beliefs about a topic of concern. The course created avenues for intergroup dialogue with sustained discussions on controversial topics pertaining to the vision of what a socially just society looks like, and the obstacles that still exist in moving toward a society with equitable practices.
