Impact and Research Outcomes

Three aspects of the project’s contribution to, or extension of, existing knowledges:

a) Method as peacebuilding – in a context that has a plurality of nationalities, ethnicities and languages, how the process of PhotoVoice (the taking of, and analysis of photos) may help promote peace.

b) Experimental participation – looking to how research design, implementation and impact can be inclusionary and participant-led to challenge traditional researcher-researched hierarchies.

c) Pushing transformational research agendas – participatory arts methods carry promises of community empowerment and pursuing research outputs that will drive positive change for those participating. Yet, with PhotoVoice, the impact of research projects remains largely underexamined.
