Abstract

Gender-related stereotypes as well as racial, cultural and socio-economic factors can lead to problematic interactions for women whose families receive Child Protective Services (CPS) intervention. I will discuss Photovoice as the methodology I adopted in a study, supported by feminist perspectives, on the views of mothers with previous CPS involvement. I will present the use of pictures as a representation of the participants’ lived experiences, along with preliminary findings, including a sample of pictures taken by participants and their analysis.
