Teaching and Learning Anthropology

Photovoice is a research and teaching tool designed to document personal experiences and elicit applied discussions. In the classroom, photovoice brings theoretical concepts to life, empowers students to become co-creators of knowledge, sensitizes students to a range of city experiences, and is adaptable to unforeseen events. Photovoice also connects students to a place and community as both insiders and tourists; and beyond exams, papers, and assigned readings, photovoice starts new and experiential conversations on a course’s key topics. Examples from classroom experience will be shared.
