Assignment 3- Photo voice Word count 3000 Below is a template for your final assignment. Be sure to consult the module for the final day of the intensive and the post-intensive module for additional information. Overview of a possible way of constructing the paper Title: Give your paper an interesting, relevant title Introduction: 150 words The introduction should serve as a roadmap for your paper that tells the reader what your paper will be about, the method you used and provide a taste of what your argument is and findings are. Overview: 450 words This section should provide a summary of the facts and statistics that relate to the ‘community’ that will be your focus in this paper. You may report on the costs, but remember costs are not just financial, think about the human and the social costs too. These statistics should be geared towards indicating why it is that the needs of your ‘participant group’ are important and should argue for the necessity of community development. *Note that the lists below are not exhaustive* Here you might find useful information on websites such as · Australian Bureau of Statistics · Amnesty · The United Nations · World Health Organisation Or in Government reports and inquiries or Royal Commissions such as · Bringing them Home · The Nyland Report · The Royal Commission into Child Abuse · The Mullighan Inquiry Or is quality newspaper articles from publications such as · The Conversation · Koori Mail · The Australian · The Stringer Or organisational websites such as · Beyond Blue · SA Health · Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement · Community Centres SA · Australian Conservation Foundation The listed resources above are not exhaustive, but are an indication of the sort of resource you can use in this section. Importantly, the resources used must be of ‘quality’. It is important to use information that is both recent and relevant. *In the Overview section, as long as you have used at least 4 of the more ‘official’ type of resources listed above you can also use the evidence of existing grass-roots organisations. For example; · 350.org · Aboriginal Tent Embassy · Sisters Inside, Flat Out, Seeds of Affinity · Chilout · Australian Farmers Market Association · Australian Nuclear Free Alliance Community development: 750 words There are many ways that this section can be written, there is a lot of scope and no one ‘correct’ way of approaching this. This is a section where you could potentially critically discuss · Theories of community development · The history of community development · How/why do/can people benefit from a sense of belonging that can be found in community · A critique of neoliberalism and globalisation—relate back to community and your ‘data’ · A critique of or praise of previous community development projects (or both) · The relationship between social work and community development · Human rights as they relate to community development · Rights from below · Radical social work—link to community, social movements, activism · Charity vs Rights · Oppression: Does membership of a certain race, gender, class, age and (dis)ability group impact of the experiences of the ‘community’ discussed in this paper. Can community participation challenge oppression? · Challenging oppression through social movements, or learning from social movements · What does the AASW Code of Ethics say about ‘community’ and community development, how does that relate to your own observations or experiences · Other Photovoice projects that were used with a community like the one in this paper · Other arts-based community development initiatives that have been used with a community similar to the one you are writing about · The theory behind and/or the benefits of using arts-based approaches is community development · Green Social Work. Why should community development social workers be ‘green’, or focus on ‘green’ issues · Social worker as activist This list is not exhaustive, you may think of your own points to discuss. I would recommend that you choose around 3-4 of these areas to focus on. The best papers will ensure that there is a ‘golden thread’ where concepts are linked, both in this section, and more broadly to the rest of the paper. The method, Photovoice: 300 words This should be a discussion on Photovoice. It should discuss the relevance of Photovoice theories to social work and community development. It could describe what using Photovoice aims to achieve, or perhaps why Photovoice may be better than using positivist ‘research’ methods. You may wish to briefly describe Photovoice procedures or point out any potential limitations in using Photovoice. For this section you need to look at the extra information found in the Post-Intensive Module. Ethics: 100 words In this section, you must consider ethics. For example, if your ‘data’ was created by a person considered vulnerable or at risk, a very young person, what would you need to think about in terms of ethics? A recognition of the importance of ethical practice must be present if your paper is about people who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Your data: 300 words This section will consist of · a brief ‘participant’ introduction · 3 x photographs created during the intensive · a narrative to accompany each photograph that will be the ‘voice’ of the person who took the photo. If you are not quite happy with the narrative provided in the uploaded photograph from the intensive, you may tweak it to better suit your paper or write something from scratch When constructing the participant narrative, think about what the person might have said if they were asked: · Why did you take this photograph? · What does this image mean to you? · What are you trying to say here? · When you look at that photograph does it make you…..? The narrative could start simply begin with the words ‘I took this photo because…’ or ‘This picture is important to me because…’. Do not attempt to ask the person who posted the photograph, it is up to you to envisage what a person might say. To get a broad understanding of the sort of photographs and narratives people provide, you need to read other Photovoice research papers. See the Post-Intensive Module for more information. Your analysis: 350 words In this section you need to think about what the participant narratives mean. You should link their narratives to the theoretical perspectives used in this topic. You might want to consider how their narrative challenges the stereotype or ‘single story’ of a particular ‘type’ of person or community. You need to link the ‘data’ of the individual more broadly to what this means at a societal/community level. It is important that your analysis focusses on ideas around community, belonging, liberation, inclusion and freedom from oppression. This paper should not focus on individual responses to individual deficits. It is about what feminists argued was understanding the links between the personal with the political or as C Wright Mills famously argued, noticing ‘the vivid awareness of the relationship between personal experience and the wider society’ Implications for social work: 450 This section should clearly demonstrate a link to the analyses you made in the previous section. As a community development social worker, what are your recommendations for future action? These implications must be built from the research ‘data’ which should draw links between what you found in your overview of the official facts and statistics and what the individual participant told you through their photographs. Remember that social workers do more than work in frontline practice, we are community development workers, group workers, policy makers and researchers. Often our roles overlap even within one ‘job’. So perhaps your recommendations might include ways of using the ‘data’ to inform the public or influence policy makers. You might suggest actions to challenge stereotypes, seek more funding, creating a submission to an inquiry or agitating for broad societal change. You may recommend future research or make a recommendation to start a community group. You may want to create an activist or lobby group, plan and hold a series of protests, call community meetings. These are only a few of the possibilities. Conclusion: 150 words As per any conclusion, there should be no new information here, it should be a summary of your paper, your concluding thoughts. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The look and the style Your assignment should be double spaced in a font that is easy to read. You are encouraged to use headings. I would prefer you use the 1st person when you write this paper, but it is ok to write in the 3rd person, just be consistent. Editing and polishing are both important in writing. Make sure you allow enough time to do this. Rushed papers that are poorly edited are easy to spot but hard to read. Aim to make your markers job as pleasant as possible. Word Count The word count for each section is a guide that reflects the expected structure of your paper. However, you can take 50 words from one section to give you more words in another section. Follow the 10% rule, your final paper can be anywhere from 2700 words to 3300 words. Any more, or any less will lose marks. The total word count required does include references in the text, but not the reference list. Saving and Naming Save your paper as you go. When you have finished writing, save it as a PDF, instructions can be found here. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Save-or-convert-to-PDF-d85416c5-7d77-4fd6-a216-6f4bf7c7c110 Please name your file like this FAN_Photovoice_Initials_final.pdf Therefore my paper would be saved as: jarl0002_Photovoice_MJ_final.pdf Uploading Assignments on FLO Please ensure that the paper you upload is your final paper, not a draft. It is up to you to make sure that you have submitted the correct file. The FLO system will generate an email, sending it to your Flinders Student Email once you have successfully submitted. It is up to you to check this. If you do not receive this email, or have any other problems using FLO, please contact the FLO help desk, located on Level 1 of Central Library or go to http://www.flinders.edu.au/library/flo/ Referencing and Academic Integrity It is an expectation that you reference correctly and consistently, using APA 6th Edition. Take the time to familiarise yourself with the rules around Academic Integrity as I will be strictly enforcing them. While you are welcome to write this paper on a community that you have previously studied in another topic or at another university, it is considered a breach of academic integrity to reuse the material from one of your own previous assignments. For more see, https://www.flinders.edu.au/academicintegrity/student.cfm Referencing and Reference List: Your reference list is not included in the word count. It is an expectation that you use material from the essential and recommended readings and to use extra resources you searched for yourself, but they must be relevant to this topic. It is important that this literature predominately originates from community development and social work. **I do not want to see the use of the same referencing material from previous topics** You are welcome to material from the readings templates and summaries that you and your team created in the pre-intensive modules because that activity was designed to give you a head start on this assignment. Without exception, direct quotes must be referenced with a page number. An over-reliance of direct quotes will mean a loss of marks. It is expected that you will use a minimum of 12 peer reviewed readings in this paper. You must also use a minimum of 3 quality sources to back up your argument in the overview section. Therefore there needs to be a minimum of 15 references that are relevant to the theoretical perspective used in this topic as well as to your paper. When including the reference, be sure that it demonstrates that you have engaged with the content and argument within that reading. You must reference correctly and consistently, using the APA 6th edition. Poor, inconsistent referencing will mean a loss of marks. There are numerous resources available to show you how to do this on the internet, in books and at the Student Learning Centre in the Library. *Once you have used the minimum amount of references, I am more than happy for you to add colour and movement to your paper with references to novels, movies, documentaries, art or songs. Additionally you can use youtube clips, websites, fanzines etc, but they must be properly referenced and can only be in addition to the 12 peer reviewed references and 3 ‘quality’ references.
