This Abstracts Book is a record of the content provided throughout the 2024, four-day virtual conference Photovoice: Aiming for Impact and beyond, from keynotes to workshops, mentoring topics, panels and roundtable, conference tracks, and blog posts. The book is a “snapshot” in time of the ongoing work of the conference presenters, blog authors, workshop facilitators, and Conference Team to engage communities and co-researchers in documenting and sharing their stories of challenge, resilience, advocacy, and hope. This peer-reviewed volume is intended to support the work -- projects, programs, and research –being done using photovoice, photo elicitation, and creative arts methods around the world to help co-researchers and co-creators tell their stories, advocate for change, and generate impact.
