Photovoice is a participatory-action method that facilitates an opportunity for participants to tell stories about their lives using photographic images that they have created. The “Mapping Vulnerability, Picturing Place” project successfully used this method to explore the experiences of women who migrated to Canada in one of two small Canadian cities. As a part of this project, this article analyzes the nuances and differing experiences between international students and immigrant women. The results show that photovoice enables participants to convey their feelings, interpretations, and experiences in a manner to which the viewer/observer can understand and relate
