Engage, Identify, Examine: A Workshop on Participatory Photo Mapping
March 12, 2010 - University of Victoria - Victoria, BC
Participatory Photo Mapping (PPM) is an integrative tool for documenting and communicating the experience of place to community stakeholders and decision-makers. In this workshop, aimed at health researchers and clinicians engaged in community-based collaborative projects, Dr. David Brown and his colleague Suzanne Gaulocher (University of Wisconsin-Madison) introduced PPM techniques, provided illustrations of its applications and engaged participants in a discussion about the use of innovative methods in community-based participatory research. The workshop also addressed critical aspects of community-research partnerships in such projects.
