About the site:

Here you’ll find a few resources on activist methodologies woven into my own writing from the semester, including a few video responses I made.

The site is divided into three sections underneath the “Qualitative Methodologies” tab: Chronic Illness Methodology, Testimonio, and Portraiture. Each section includes a relevant reading response and work surrounding the titular methodology, including reflections on implementing it in research, examples from my personal archive, and multimedia created by me and artists I respect. I have linked to their work whenever that information was available.

By embracing a digital Photovoice technique, I hope that this compendium will offer expansive thinking on how activist methodologies can appear within critical and creative writing, images, and videos.
