Learning about PhotoVoice

September 17, 2013 By Susannah Fox Leave a Comment

Learning about PhotoVoice

At yesterday’s A Healthy America event, I met Yanique Redwood, President & CEO of the Consumer Health Foundation. In researching more about her work, I found that she uses a qualitative research method called PhotoVoice, described as “participatory photography for social change.”

Check out some of the projects enabled by PhotoVoice:

  • The Dirty Truth Campaign in Atlanta, GA
  • TB Voices in Washington state
  • PATH: Telling the story of tuberculosis and HIV in Tanzania

I realized that my own bias is toward storytelling in data and words, but that is a limitation I should not visit on the communities I hope to serve as a researcher. Once again I’m humbled by a chance encounter at a meeting and the exchange of business cards. How much we all have to learn from each other, if we can only connect!
