Participatory Video Research
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) received a large amount of Brazilian undergraduate students from the Brazil Scientific Mobility Program in 2012-2014. 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. Below are two examples of students' stories. Both groups went through the process of brainstorming ideas, developing the video narratives, creating the video stories, and working on the final cut. Both videos show the meaning of the group experience at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
