This research (2019-2022) examines images in children’s everyday lives, how reading and making images is integral to civic engagement in offline and online learning spaces. We have been piloting photographic arts-informed methods, developing ways of sharing and building connections and collaborations. Child participants are developing research skills and exploring images of self and family.
The Project is funded by the Brock Internal funding (SJRI, Brock Explore, FOE)
