Applying PhotoVoice Concepts to Composition in a College Bridge Program
Abstract
This presenter will discuss structuring a Composition I course for a summer bridge program around borrowed concepts from PhotoVoice, which uses photography to enable individuals from “underrepresented or at risk communities” to share their stories, build relationships, and develop “new tools of self-advocacy.” Attendees will gain inspiration for how to incorporate visual aspects into a writing course through the presenters challenges, outcomes, takeaways, and plans for future courses.
