This document provides context about a photovoice project called "Exposed" conducted with residents of the Black Creek neighborhood in Toronto. The project used photography and narratives to document the social impacts of poverty and racism. 14 community members were trained in photography and participated in weekly sessions to analyze their photos and write narratives. The resulting photobook captures their perspectives on issues like safety, community strengths, and the impacts of living in a low-income area. The document provides background on photovoice methodology, the community, and outlines the goals of studying racial inequalities through a community-based research approach.
The document outlines a workshop on photovoice methodology, which is a participatory research method that involves community members taking photographs to represent their experiences and advocate for issues. The workshop discusses the theoretical foundations of photovoice, provides examples of previous photovoice projects, and reviews the typical stages involved in conducting a photovoice study, including having participants take photographs, discuss their photos, and hold a community exhibition.
The document outlines a group's research methods for their project on promoting waste-free events on campus. Their research methods included observing how students seek information on events, interviewing event organizers, and testing poster designs. The goal is to identify more environmentally friendly ways to promote events given the excessive paper waste from printed posters on campus.
The student intends to create artworks based on the psychosocial phenomenon of "proximal abandonment", where a parent is physically present but emotionally absent. They will research artists like Andy Warhol and Terry Setch for influence. Three final artworks will use mixed media like photography and found materials to symbolically represent proximal abandonment in politics. The pieces show authority figures ignoring community needs, a child protesting, and an allusion to being tricked like monkeys. Research and development explored transferring images to unusual surfaces.
The document summarizes the group presentation ideas for Assignment 9. It includes ideas from each group member on topics such as how art has changed over time, the evolution of films, the impact of video games, trends in makeup, issues around alcohol, Japanese culture, bullying, the relationship between technology and society, and differences in social class. The group decided their strongest idea was examining the increasing dependence on technology, which they planned to explore over three episodes focusing on the evolution of computers, development of games, and evolution of phones. They provided examples of inspirational documentaries they could learn from in their presentation.

This summary highlights the community's history of activism and some of the strengths identified by participants, such as community centers, pride in neighborhood, and pushing back against negative stereotypes.
The document discusses issues around income security and employment faced by community members as captured through photovoice. Three key points:
1) Photos from older participants highlighted struggles like the impact of rising food prices on families as shown in a photo of bags of rice.
2) A photo of two young mothers with babies by a job recruitment van drew attention to challenges of providing for children amid unemployment.
3) One participant noted that working multiple jobs leaves no time for activism on important issues.
The document discusses the neglect of public spaces in the Black Creek area as seen through photos taken by participants. In over 200 photos, neglect is shown through accumulating garbage, dying trees, and parks and schools in need of maintenance. Participants felt the unreasonable buildup of garbage made their neighborhood look ugly and residents feel unimportant. They called for more government staff and programs to maintain and clean the neighborhood, plant more trees, and create jobs for youth to address the issue. While both residents and government were seen as responsible, participants felt the government initiating cleanups and beautification projects would motivate residents to keep the neighborhood clean.
Exposed Book - Hidden Borders And DiscriminationRuth Wilson
The document discusses discrimination and hidden borders experienced by photo-researchers in the Black Creek neighborhood of Toronto. The photo-researchers shared experiences of racism and barriers to jobs and housing due to white privilege and negative stereotypes. They felt demoralized by outsiders' perceptions of their neighborhood. Hidden boundaries were documented within Black Creek that segregated residents by income and education. While proud of their community, residents also wanted to escape the marginalization there. Divisions were observed between poorer areas of Black Creek and the wealthier areas near York University. Discrimination and the need for greater cultural sensitivity and racial tolerance were themes discussed.
Safety and security was a major concern for residents in the community. Photos and narratives documented a lack of safety in public spaces like basements and laundromats in housing buildings. Gun violence and gang activity also threatened safety. While increased policing and surveillance were implemented, some residents felt over-policed and unsafe. Residents discussed taking security into their own hands by watching out for each other, but recognized this was just a temporary solution and greater efforts were needed to address the root causes of issues undermining safety, such as unemployment, discrimination, and lack of services.
The document discusses issues with public housing in Toronto as highlighted by photo-researchers living in public housing. [1] Photos showed neglect and deteriorating conditions like holes in walls, water damage, and garbage. [2] Residents felt buildings needed better maintenance and cleaning to feel more like home and treat the space with respect. [3] Poor conditions were seen as contributing to an overall feeling of hopelessness in the community.
The document discusses strengths in the Jane and Finch community identified by community members through a photovoice project. It describes positive community spaces captured in photos like health centers, youth clubs, and parks. Photos highlighted the important roles of local services and youth. Community members felt their strengths challenged negative stereotypes. Intergenerational knowledge sharing and coming together in times of need were cited as strengths. Photos captured community beauty and resilience after challenges like fires. Overall the photos asserted community pride and capacity to advocate for change.
This document contains discussion questions and responses for an online course on American Diversity and Design. It introduces the student, Nick Eichelberger, and provides his responses to several prompts. The prompts ask students to discuss how certain innovations impacted society, how media representations of marginalized groups changed over time, and how certain designs were influenced by diverse groups. Nick provides well-thought out responses discussing things like how the cotton gin impacted the institution of slavery and how increased LGBTQ representation in media helped advance acceptance.
The workshop generated many ideas for integrating art and landscape design at the new UROC facility. Key recommendations included:
1) Incorporating community artwork, symbols, and history into the building design, landscaping, and interpretive elements to reflect local culture and make the space accessible and welcoming.
2) Creating gardens at the rear of the building for food production, processing, and education about different cultural plants and foods.
3) Exploring green infrastructure like green roofs, sustainable stormwater management, and native plantings to demonstrate environmental stewardship.

This document provides a summary of Shannon Ferris' responses to discussion questions for their American Diversity and Design course at the University at Buffalo. Some key points:
- Shannon discusses how Netflix has impacted their generation's viewing habits and negatively impacted older people not used to technology.
- They analyze how the Boy Scouts of America opening their membership to transgender boys changed their application design and impacted different groups.
- Shannon describes a photo of Victoria Soto's sister crying after learning of Victoria's death at Sandy Hook, and how it came to represent the tragedy.
Discussions on topics of Architectural Diversity and Design Andrew Gabriel
The document is a discussion post by Andrew Gabriel, a student from India, in an American Diversity and Design course at the University at Buffalo. In the first response, Andrew discusses how the discovery of DNA structure by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953 led to the development of genetics, which helped understand traits being passed from parents to offspring and aided in disease prevention and treatment. However, he acknowledges that Watson and Crick failed to properly credit Rosalind Franklin, whose work provided key data for their discovery. In the second response, Andrew describes how ramps were originally designed to aid loading but were adapted to promote accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities.
12 Digital Storytelling As Autoethnography In Anthropological Pedagogy And Pr...Lisa Muthukumar
This document discusses digital storytelling and its use in anthropological pedagogy and practice. It begins by providing context on digital storytelling and how the author has utilized it in their own anthropology course. It analyzes student projects from the course, finding that they were all autoethnographic in nature, allowing students to apply anthropological concepts to their own lives. The author then discusses how advances in video technology are making digital storytelling and media production more accessible, with implications for anthropological teaching and research. Overall, the document examines how digital storytelling assignments have benefits for anthropological pedagogy by engaging students and having them apply concepts to analyze aspects of their own lives and experiences.
This document discusses the use of visual representations in self-study research. It provides details on several studies that utilized visual methods at different stages of the research process. The key points are:
1) Visual representations, like photographs and drawings, were used in multiple ways including as data collection, analysis, and presentation of findings.
2) One study in Edinburgh examined the different spaces where academics conducted research. Photographs and diagrams helped conceptualize how research and teaching are intertwined.
3) Using photo albums can be an effective visual method for self-study and social action. Curating albums allows researchers to represent their experiences and voice in a way that can spur discussion and social change.
The following presentation documents my responses to the online discussion questions in the Spring 2017 version of ARC211: Diversity and Design at the University at Buffalo--State University of New York.
Photovoice is a participatory research method that uses photography to empower individuals and communities to tell their own stories and advocate for change. It is often used as a tool for social justice and community development. Duoethnography, on the other hand, is a collaborative research approach in which two or more researchers engage in dialogue and reflection to explore their experiences and perspectives. This method encourages a deep understanding of the complexities and nuances of a given topic, and can be used in a variety of fields including education, psychology, and anthropology. Together, photovoice and duoethnography can offer a powerful way to explore and address social issues from multiple perspectives.

This document is an introduction to the third edition of the book Practices of Looking: An Introduction to Visual Culture by Marita Sturken and Lisa Cartwright. It discusses how the book aims to provide a critical understanding of how images and looking practices are implicated in systems of social power. It notes that looking is never a straightforward or simple act, but involves codes, meanings, rights and limits. The introduction discusses different senses of how one looks - how they appear to others, and how they view and make meaning from the world. It argues that looking practices are social practices that are negotiated across different domains from the personal to the professional. The proliferation of images in daily life through technologies like cameras and social media is also discussed.
This document provides details about the student's concept for an online transmedia work for their Production Project course. The concept is an online cemetery inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. It would allow users to upload profiles of deceased loved ones with photos, videos and text in vibrant colors. The profiles would be accessed through a world map interface and each entry would celebrate the person's life in keeping with the festive spirit of Day of the Dead traditions. Other inspirations for the concept included Bjork's "Biophilia" app-album and the "In Their Room" documentary project which featured candid video diaries.
Arc 211 American Diversity and Design Brian NicponBrian Nicpon
The Pruitt-Igoe housing project in St. Louis aimed to provide affordable housing but failed due to poor design and social issues. John Talen discusses how design can enable or disable communities. He advocates for mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods to foster interaction. In a lecture, Larson discusses the failure of modernist urban renewal projects and advocates New Urbanist principles of traditional neighborhood design. Two works reflect or challenge their contexts through design that either enabled community or failed to consider social aspects.
Hunger Free Colorado - Hunger Through My Lens - Photovoice Case Study & ToolkitHungerFree
Based on the photovoice model, Hunger Through My Lens is a new advocacy project that sheds light on the reality of hunger in the Denver Metro area. The participation of experts—individuals who experience hunger—is the foundation of photovoice and this project. Following this model, Hunger Through My Lens is designed to provide a platform for Coloradans to share their stories.
Digital cameras are the main medium for participants to express themselves and put real stories to the overwhelming statistics surrounding hunger. The photographs provide tangible evidence that there’s a need to face the impacts of hunger on individuals, families and communities throughout Colorado.
A traveling exhibit displays the photographs and stories at locations around Denver. Policy makers and stakeholders—including you—are encouraged to view the photographs, meet with participants and engage in critical dialogue. Find out where you can experience Hunger Through My Lens.
The project released a Hunger Through My Lens Case Study & Toolkit in April 2014, so other groups can create a photovoice project in their community. The case study and toolkit the basics of photovoice, why the method is effective, when and how to use, and guidelines and considerations for developing your own photovoice project.
Hunger Through My Lens also has garnered local and national news coverage, including a PBS NewsHour report that struck a chord with people across Colorado and the nation.

This document discusses various qualitative research methods that can be used to support evidence-based practice, including interviews, diaries, observations, and mapping. It provides examples of how each method has been used in library and user experience research. Semi-structured interviews are described as an effective way to gather detailed data through open-ended questions. Sample interview questions are provided on topics like virtual reference services and communicating library value. The use of diaries to collect self-reported experiences is also outlined. Participant observation methods aim to immerse researchers in the environment of interest. Cognitive and experience sampling maps have participants draw or annotate maps to provide spatial insights.
More Than a Profile: The Ethics of Digital Storytelling in Study AbroadCIEE
Students post, tweet, and blog about their experiences overseas, and these narratives contribute to the growing popularity of study abroad. We must reinvent our pedagogy to adapt to this changing world and examine the stories that inspire student travel. How might they collide with the expectation of health equity and sustainable service? How can we promote self-reflection and cultural humility? An interdisciplinary panel – representing film studies, anthropology, and public health – will place the current debate in the context of postcolonial narratives, describe the potential for self-reflection, and offer a sample technique for using digital storytelling in trip preparation and in-class learning.

My Story
I am a Karen from Burma. I was born in Burma but I was brought up in a Karen refugee camp located on the Thai-Burma
border. I don’t remember my life in Burma since I was very young when we came to the camp. I spent by whole life in the camp
before coming to Canada. One day a resettlement worker came and announced the opportunity for this workshop. So I joined
the project. In the future, I want to be a photo journalist reporting the news about Karen people to the world. Millions of Karens
are now suffering inside of Burma and not many people know about it. This project inspires me to become a photo journalist.

8. Why Black Creek?
The Black Creek area is a composite of four
neighborhoods (Humber Summit, Humbermede,
Black Creek, Glenfield-Jane Heights) located in the
northwest inner suburb area of Toronto. The Black
Creek community is bounded by Steeles Avenue in the
north, Keele Street in the east, Humber River in the
west, Wilson Avenue in the south, and includes 20, 30,
and 40 Falstaff. Many people know the Black Creek area
as the “Jane and Finch” area as well. We decided to base
our project in the Black Creek area not just because it is
a low-income neighborhood with a high proportion of
racialized people, but also because of the rich history of
social activism in this community. We have developed
strong partnerships in the Black Creek community. The
Black Creek Community Health Centre, for example, is
one of the lead agencies that helped to found the ISRH
research working group. Other partners include Delta
Family and Resource Centre, Griffin Centre, Working
Women’s Community Centre, and York University-TD
Community Engagement Centre.
According to Census 2001 data, 74.8% of the population
in Black Creek area identified themselves as “visible minorities.” 62.6% of residents are immigrants. The
unemployment rate, average household income, and low-income rate in Black Creek area are two or
three times above the average rate for the city of Toronto (Census 2001).
At the same time, the Black Creek community has a rich history of social activism. In the early
1970s, a group of residents, politicians, and community workers banded together to begin addressing
community issues. Their main efforts were to improve the community’s negative image and to
create a sense of community pride. The results of this dedication has led to the development of over
30 grassroots associations based on principles of mutual aid, including social and health service
organizations. The organizations that exist today include the Black Creek Community Health Centre,
The Spot, Driftwood Community Centre, Oakdale Community Centre, Firgrove Community Centre,
Jane/Finch Community Centre, Belka Enrichment Centre, and Delta Family Resource Centre. In 1998,
the Jane and Finch community won the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Caring Community Award.
Residents in the Jane and Finch community are also very active in a number of festivals and events like
International Women’s Day, International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, Caribana,
Canadian Hispanic Day Parade, and Driftwood Community Centre’s Annual Multicultural Festival.
