Community Voices During COVID-19 Using Photovoice and Oral History

Photovoice is a method that puts a camera in participants hands and gives them control over which photos are taken representing their life. Photovoice has three main goals: 1) to enable participants to record and reflect community’s strengths and concerns, 2) to promote critical dialogue and knowledge about important community issues through discussion of photographs, and 3) to reach decision-makers. For the purposes of this project, participants were asked to use the photos as a way to discuss COVID-19 experiences through an oral history interview.
