“…As Friedwald (1996, p. 126) contends, autoethnography is "the kind [of art] that takes you deeper inside yourself and ultimately out again," which requires a level of vulnerability that few methods favour (Custer, 2014). Recent examples of autoethnographic work in refugee studies include Mupenzi et al's (2019) exploration of the first author's educational journey as a man who is a former refugee, and Kodwani's (2019) perspective of growing up in a refugee camp in post-partition India.…”

Participatory video involves co-researchers using digital or video cameras to create their own videos and present issues according to their sense of what is important. In 2018, the authors—including three co-researchers from refugee backgrounds—collaborated through participatory video research to document views on better access and participation in higher education. Here, we reflect on key ethical issues encountered and share lessons learnt from our project. Our aim is not to discredit this methodology but to contribute new discussions on how participatory video can be used effectively as a form of self-representation to target wide audiences and effect social and policy change. This way, debates on the social and political potentialities of arts-based methods such as participatory video can be expanded. Since deploying participatory video in forced migration research is a relatively novel approach, there is much scope to expand the contours of knowledge on its potential to reach diverse audiences and open up new opportunities for social and political impact.
