“…The photovoice process comprises a number of sessions which, in most cases, starts with a session in which participants receive an introduction to the nature of the methodology and how it is applied (Catalani & Minkler, 2010;Cooper et al, 2017). This typically includes training participants in the use of a camera and the ethics of photography, particularly in relation to obtaining consent when taking photographs of other people (Ha & Whittaker, 2016;Lucke et al, 2019;Maratos et al, 2016). Further training may be implemented where necessary, depending on the study's nature and goals.…”

“…Others emphasize the central role of participants as experts who are best qualified to describe and analyze their lived experiences and identify the problems in their communities (Cooper et al, 2017;Finholt et al, 2010;Maratos et al, 2016). Still others value photovoice for its potential to engage individuals who may have difficulty articulating their concerns in writing or orally due to language barriers (Lucke et al, 2019) or for other reasons, such as mental health problems (Ha & Whittaker, 2016).…”

In this paper, we critically reflect on our conceptualization and operationalization of “rapid photovoice” as a close-up, emancipatory, action research methodology which has multiple, intersecting social-justice goals; and consider the methodology’s potential for helping to achieve such goals. We first consider photovoice in relation to its typical use in public health research, as well as in prior research into student experiences of higher education. We then consider our pragmatic redesign of the methodology as rapid photovoice (RPV), which we conceptualized in response to the goals, parameters, and constraints inherent in our project, which studied student movement violence and wellbeing. In the third part of the article, we describe and discuss our operationalization of RPV in this study on four university campuses in South Africa. In the fourth section, we reflect on some of the ethical considerations arising from the topic and the methodology. In the final section of the article, we critically assess the interim outcomes of our use of RPV in terms of (1) psychologically empowering students to reflect on traumatic experiences in a safe space and enhancing their self-awareness of wellbeing, wellbeing resources and coping strategies; (2) the politically emancipatory potential of photovoice to represent student experiences authentically and with immediacy to higher education policy role-players, and (3) its ability to co-create artifacts of collective memory that provide authentic empirical material for making trustworthy knowledge claims.

“…Further exploration of the spousal influence on farmers' markets, community gardens and so forth could also contribute to a better understanding of healthy food choices (see Feagan & Morris, 2009;Lucke, Mamo, & Koenigstorfer, 2019). This research was only a first step to explore spousal influence in AFNs and should be complemented with other qualitative data collections such as observations of pick-up processes and home food preparations of members of different types of AFNs.…”

Fresh vegetables originating from alternative food networks (AFNs) are an increasingly popular choice all over the world. Being part of an AFN frequently redefines consumption and participation of family members in food‐related activities. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a type of AFN, providing increased access to produce in a form of risk‐sharing model between farmers and consumers, which at the same time influences organization of household resources. Thus, not only the given member of a CSA, but also his/her spousal activities in household processes should be taken in account. It is clear that entering into CSA significantly affects lifestyles and frequently requires a great deal of adaptation, possibly leading to a crisis of whether to stay within the CSA or cease membership. The objective of this study was to reveal how spouses influence CSA membership. Using an explorative design, this study has identified three emerging patterns of spousal influence: coherent, integrative and neutral/antagonistic. The spousal influence on CSA membership may represent partner activities regarding food issues but also has an effect on food preparation and culinary choices at home. Our findings suggest that membership in CSA presents challenges and thus spousal support is crucial in the long term. As a consequence, spousal influence should be examined in relation to CSA participation. Inconveniences associated with CSA membership could be avoided by providing more information about the importance of spousal support.

“…Em 2005, a população urbana superou a rural em uma curva crescente, e estima-se que, em 2050, a população urbana supere os seis bilhões de pessoas (UNITED NATIONS, 2014) e a AU se destaque como uma possível fonte de alimentos para essa população, além de contribuir em outros aspectos no bem-estar e na qualidade de vida, como a redução do estresse, por meio do cultivo das hortaliças e da interação social entre os indivíduos. A atividade também modifica o ecossistema e oferece subsídios para o esclarecimento da população quanto à importância da valorização das hortas urbanas; entretanto, o grande desafio será produzir alimentos saudáveis ao consumo humano nesse ambiente com grande potencial poluidor (SCHRAM-BIJKERK et al, 2018;LUCKE;MAMO;KOENIGSTORFER, 2019).…”

As hortas urbanas trazem benefícios alimentares e sociais, mas os poluentesatmosféricos são nocivos à saúde. Então, surge a questão: os alimentos dashortas urbanas são seguros? Para investigar, neste estudo utilizou-se a alfacecrespa, a mais consumida em São Paulo e bioindicadora de metais tóxicos.A pesquisa ocorreu de agosto a outubro de 2018, em horta urbana no telhadode um grande shopping da cidade de São Paulo, cercado de intenso tráfego deveículos. Utilizaram-se dois tratamentos, cultivo a céu aberto (T1) e cultivoem estufa com controle de ar (T2), com nove repetições cada. Após 60 dias,quantificaram-se as concentrações médias, nas amostras, dos elementosarsênio (As), cádmio (Cd), cromo (Cr), chumbo (Pb) e zinco (Zn), que nãoultrapassaram os limites máximos preconizados pela Agência Nacional deVigilância Sanitária (ANVISA). Concluiu-se que as alfaces não oferecem riscosà saúde humana, e o tratamento T2 reduziu o teor de Zn na alface (p<0,05).
