Participant Photography as a Research Tool: Ethical Issues and Practical Implementation
O'Hara, Leeanne; Higgins, Kathryn
Sociological Methods & Research, v48 n2 p369-399 May 2019
Participatory methods for engaging children and young people in research are becoming more popular and innovative in social research. One example of this is the inclusion of participant photography. Drawing on an ethnographic study conducted in Northern Ireland, this article explores the application of participant photography to research drug use and antisocial behavior among youth. Findings highlight issues surrounding implementation when in the field, building on the existing knowledge base and focusing on recruitment, continuous engagement, image presentation, and analysis. This is followed by an overview of ethical considerations including specific issues relating to researcher and participant safety.
