four note friday 1.15 | Seeing Photovoice-in-Action, Using Google Alerts

Learning about photovoice should not only include reading journal articles. One simple and easy way to stay connected to how photovoice is being used around the world is by setting up a simple Google Alert. While I most certainly have a Google Scholar Alert set up for photovoice, I also have a Google Alert. The former will help you keep the pulse on new scholarship. The latter will help you see photovoice-in-action. There is certainly some overlap. In other words, sometimes my Google Alerts include links to new journal articles (see the second link in the above screenshot). But usually, the alerts provide windows into all things photovoice projects across the globe.

Watching these projects emerge offers inspiration for how we might share our own work more broadly and connect with the kinds of audiences who can make change—think policy makers.

Setting up an alert is easy:
👉🏼 Go to Google Alerts
👉🏼 Type “photovoice”
👉🏼 Enter your email address
👉🏼 Click "Show options" and choose how often you want to receive updates (I recommend once a week)
👉🏼 Watch the stories come to you!
