Multi-Sited Photo-Storytelling: Visualising Care in Environmental and Peace Education
Michael Chew1
Journal of Peace Education, v22 n1 p33-62 2025
This paper presents a practice-based enquiry exploring how photovoice methods can be adapted to visualise caring behaviours in multi-sited contexts, within an environment and peace education context. Photovoice methods typically have an exclusively single-sited focus that can neglect opportunities for empathy and cross-cultural engagement that arise when considering multiple sites. This research explores these opportunities through broadening and integrating multi-sited dimensions into photovoice processes. Two novel multi-sited photovoice methods are adapted -- "photo-action interviews," and "photo-letter exchanges," with participating youth in urban sites across Bangladesh, Australia and China. The visualisations of caring actions depicted in the resulting photo-stories are then analysed, affirming these methods' efficacy and inviting expanded considerations of agency and subjectivity as represented through the images. I employ an analytical approach encompassing both qualitative content and relational analysis across the interview and exchange methods to affirm the importance of materiality, relationality and empathy to participation and visualisation of environmental caring behaviour. These explorations of novel photovoice methods in multi-sited contexts confirm the importance of bringing global perspectives to local photovoice practices, contributing to participatory visual research in environmental and peace educational contexts.
