摘要：The purpose of this article is to draw critical attention to the use of photovoice as an anti-oppressive method in research with Aboriginal peoples. I n response to t he historical vulnerability of Aboriginal peoples to research that "want s to know and define the Other," anti-oppressive methods deconstruct tak- en-for-gra nted research models and focu s on privileging Indigenou s voices, p olitical integrity, and ju stice strategies. Ant i-oppressive approaches are connected to emancipation and cannot be divorced from t he history of racism. Theoretically, photovoice aligns well with anti-oppressive goals, using photographs and storytelling as a catalyst for identifying community issues towards informed solutions. Having roots in Freireian-based processes, photovoice has the goal of engaging citizens in critical dialogues and mov ing people to social action. Drawing on our recently completed photovoice study, Visualizing Breast Cancer: Exploring Aboriginal Women's Experiences (VBC), we demonstrate that photovoice seems successful in enhancing critical consciousness among part icipants, but that outcomes may not be disrupt ive. While photovoice has the potential to develop counter-hegemonic anti-oppressive knowledge, this may be lost depending on how t he research process is encountered; thus, we propose t he implementation of a revi- sionary model which incorporates a culturally safe anti-oppressive lens.
