Exploring the roles in a photo elicitation dialogue

Published:29 November 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper begins to delineate the different roles in a participatory research setting with a focus of using photography as a medium for an elicitation dialogue. We investigate how others have used photography and we include our own experiences of using photography explaining how it established a communication bridge between participants and researchers. Based upon a concluded case, we illustrate how the photographs encourage and contribute to a lively dialogue among the participants. Furthermore, we describe our reflections and considerations of the roles of the photos, the participants, and the researchers. The paper concludes on our reflections of using this approach.
