Do You See What I See? (An Online Photovoice Exhibit)
Dr. Bharati Sethi is an Associate Professor at Kings College, School of Social Work, and a member of CRHESI. She uses community-based participatory research and arts-based methods to highlight social determinants of health in immigrant and refugees’ lives and capture its relevance to social justice.
CRHESI has adapted Dr. Sethi’s doctoral photovoice research, Intersectional Exposures: Exploring the Health Effect of Employment with KAAJAL Immigrant/Refugee Women in Grand Erie through Photovoice, into an online photovoice gallery.
This on-line photo exhibit portrays the photographs that the participants took to depict their post-migration barriers in relation to work and health.
