• SSHRC IDG awarded 2020: The objectives of the proposed project are twofold: (1) to build understandings of how youth in care and their formal mentors experience mentoring relationships, and (2) to examine the feasibility and perceived impacts of engaging in participatory research processes (more specifically, photovoice) with children and youth in care and their mentors. Toward these objectives, the research team will leverage a partnership with mentoring sites in Edmonton, Red Deer, and Calgary to engage mentors and mentees in photovoice training, capturing photos, collective interpretation of photos, knowledge mobilization in the form of public photo exhibits, and providing feedback on the photovoice process.
