The goal of this project is to produce a literature review on visual participatory arts-based methodology. The review will encompass best practices and the most important theoretical orientations for visual participatory arts-based research with youth broadly speaking. Additionally, the review should include comprehensive detail on cellphilming and research with 2SLGBTQ+ youth in particular. The project will include submitting an annotated bibliography of the most central texts identified in the review, a report (the literature review itself at a maximum of 20 pages double-spaced), and a practical guide for research assistants to use when supporting cellphilming workshops.

The student will:

• Be familiar with completing literature reviews and have at least some familiarity with visual participatory arts-based methods.
• Have strong synthesis and writing skills in order to clearly represent the central ideas that are identified in the literature review.
• Have capacity to complete the project with a quick turnaround time.
• Be equipped to write a guide on running cellphilming workshops for the research assistants on the broader project that this literature review is serving.

I will provide initial direction and a background on the overarching project so that the student will be clear about what the objectives of the project are. I will be available to meet with the student should there be any challenges during the process of completing the work. I will supervise the student by checking in with them about the progress of the project to make sure they feel the work is on track.
