My apologies for cross posting, Fascinating action research developing in Guatemala. Please consider if you find it interesting and circulate if you have colleagues who are interested in the use of digital video in developing nations. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/640642237/unlocking-silent-histories Recent publication on Video of the Oppressed DeGennaro, D. and R. B. Duque (2012) Video of the Oppressed: Theory and Application, in B. Portfilio, C. Malott and T. Kress (eds) Challenging Status Quo Retrenchment: New Directions in Critical Qualitative Research. Information Age Publishers. Abstract Despite the fact that research indicates the importance of culturally relevant curriculum, educational experiences continue to be disconnected from the lives, communities, and ways of learning of underrepresented youth. This chapter unites the concept of Pedagogy of the Oppressed and video research methodologies to explore the ways in which learning can become more connected to the lives of youth. To do this, we offer an account of applying this methodology with youth in a rural mountain town in the Dominican Republic. We discuss the affordances and constraints of Video of the Oppressedthroughout our reflection on this application. Within this account we highlight the relevance of allowing learning to emerge with youth as they participate in directing the learning experience.
