“Picture this” | University of British Columbia students create infographic of GCHU publication on Lived Experiences in Marginal Neighbourhoods

Based on GCHU Director of Research Dr Juliet Carpenter’s ‘Picture this: Exploring photovoice as a method to understand lived experiences in marginal neighbourhoods’ research article in the Urban Planning journal, undergraduate students at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have created an infographic on the background, method, and findings of the paper.

An infographic has been created, nased on GCHU Director of Research Dr Juliet Carpenter‘s ‘Picture this: Exploring photovoice as a method to understand lived experiences in marginal neighbourhoods‘ research article in the Urban Planning journal. As part of their undergraduate degree, students at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have created an infographic on the background, method, and findings of the paper.

The infographic was created in a between with Making Research Accessible initiative (MRAi), UBC lecturer Dr. Katie Fitzpatrick, and the students of Arts Studies course ASTU 100 at UBC. The work was also work reviewed by Dr Juliet Carpenter with support provided by the UBC Learning Exchange and members of the MRAi.

Dr Juliet Carpenter’s research examined how participatory visual methodologies, particularly photovoice, can amplify marginalized communities’ perspectives in urban planning, whilst also highlighting the ethical challenges and limitations of these approaches in effectively engaging “unheard voices”.

Note: the reader should bear in mind that this infographic is a student research project/report and is not an official document of UBC or the GCHU.
