Photovoice: A Participatory Approach to Exploring the Social Dimensions of Climate Change

Photovoice is a qualitative method developed by participatory action researchers
that can also be adapted as a community engagement tool for practitioners. It is
useful for exploring community knowledge, perceptions, and aspirations,
particularly with people who do not typically have a voice in planning or decision-
making processes. This presentation shares results from a study, suggesting that
Photovoice can be a powerful approach to exploring the social dimensions of climate
change with communities who care for and are concerned about the future of
coastal places.
