Auto-driven photo-elicitation interview (PEI) with young girls in rural Morocco: A case study of visual ethnography
Journal Title: KONIŃSKIE STUDIA SPOŁECZNO-EKONOMICZNE - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
A male researcher has difficulty doing research on the world seen from young girls’ point of view! This article examines the use of auto-driven photo-elicitation inter-views (PEI) while engaging young girls in rural Morocco in a study of children’s role in the household in the midst of tension between tradition and rapid socio-eco-nomic changes. In this case, the article describes an example of auto-driven PEI and discusses the feasibility of this qualitative method to establish a good rapport be-tween a group of young girls (approximately age 7 to 12) and a foreign, male re-searcher (age 58). The point being, the male researcher attempts to achieve insight into the children’s thoughts and views of their present situation and imagined fu-ture. The article argues for the feasibility of using auto-driven PEI for this purpose, yet applying it in a sensitive and sensible way. The road to follow is not straight for-ward and there are dilemmas that have to be faced in each case, for example in this case to weigh local requirements for appropriate behaviour up against a researcher’s wish for information as little as possible tainted by adult relatives or family.
