Participatory Video Research, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Principal Investigator
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has received a large amount of Brazilian undergraduate students from the Brazil Scientific Mobility Program since 2012. A faculty member and a small group of Brazilian students conducted participatory video research to identify the ways in which Brazilian students experienced UWM from an academic, daily life, social, and environmental perspectives. Students conducted audio and video interviews and gathered photos of places and people. The video production process encouraged self-reflection. The storytelling process from pre-production to the final edit helped them place their lived experience into context.

This group worked fro eight weeks to brainstorm ideas, develop the video narratives, create the video stories, and work on the final cut.
