Abstract
This workshop will begin with an overview of our study of early childhood leadership in one high poverty community (Cheyney-Collante & Cheyney, 2018). We will set the stage for the context of the study: a day in the life of a child enrolled in a community childcare program situated in a high poverty neighborhood. Discussion will then include an explanation of our methods and an account of the photographic installation of results we co-created with participants, with an emphasis on how our findings disrupt narratives of early childhood in high poverty communities. Participants will then examine how we blended photovoice methods (Rose, 2007; Wang, 2006) with Gilligan et al.’s Listening Guide (Gilligan, Spencer, Weinberg, & Bertsch, 2003) by exploring examples of deidentified data. Finally, participants will experiment with their own brief, impromptu photovoice assignment and discuss opportunities for implementation of this and other democratizing forms of qualitative inquiry in their own contexts.
