Strack, R. W. (2004). Engaging Youth Through Photovoice. Health 

          Promotion Practice5(1). 49-58. DOI: 10.1177/1524839903258015

 

Article Summary: This article discusses how a photovoice project that tests the method’s effectiveness with city adolescents proves the method’s ability to provide the youth with agency and voice. It empowers participants and inspires them to take on positive agency roles within their societies thus helping in developing their social morality. 

 

Article Assessment: The article theoretically places the subject of photovoice in feminist and Freirian theoretical frames. It employs a clear method of data collection, and then seeks to give clear guidelines to how this study should be successfully reconstructed. This will be helpful for my study in guiding me to the proper sources or theoretical frameworks. Also, it elaborates on the notions of agency, empowerment, and identity awareness and development. 

 

Key Article Quotations          

      Empowerment

“Participating youth were empowered through their newfound awareness that their thoughts and that their thoughts and opinions do matter. The exhibits represented opportunities for youth to inform policy makers of their concerns and were critical culminating events of the photovoice process that should not be omitted” (p. 56).

            

     Personal Identity

The development of personal identity is primarily an internal struggle in which youth endeavor to understand their strength, skills, interests, desires, and weaknesses, whereas the development of social identity challenges youth to look beyond themselves to the larger society” (p. 50).
