PhotoVoice Invitation
Inspired by the PhotoVoice community participatory research methodology, we invite you to select one or two photos to share during our reading group meeting. What image comes to your mind as you completed the readings? How might the image(s) illuminate the issues in the readings? We look forward to meeting you and hearing your stories about the photographs that you selected. Please submit the photo to this folder by January 18, labeled with your last name_firstname_title/description_datetaken (year, month, and day in digits e.g. 20210117 for January 18, 2021).
Co-sponsored by Just Environments Collaborative Group, which unites humanities centers across the United States (Furman University, University of California, Irvine, University of Colorado, Boulder, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and University of Utah) to foreground the intertwined nature of social and environmental justice problems.
