Methodology Introduction

Narrative-photovoice

This Participatory Action Research (PAR), utilising narrative-photovoice (see Simmonds, Roux, and Avest, 2015), will incorporate three main projects focused on the influence of outdoor tourism on changing worldviews, gendered perceptions, beliefs, behaviours, skill-sets, and health, amongst ethnic minority groups in Vietnam.

More specifically, the researchers will work collaboratively with four ethnic minority groups, the Dao, Muong, Hmong, and Giay communities, in three regions of northern Vietnam; the Mu Cang Chai region, the Sa Pa district, and Hoa Binh (as well as the transfer of goods to Hanoi market).
