The purpose of this assignment is to attempt to extract sociology from pictures. One form of qualitative data analysis is called “photovoice.” Here, we are using the old phrase, “a picture speaks a thousand words.” In this case, you are examining photos from a sociological standpoint.
Choose any 3 different concepts, theories, or themes we have discussed at any point in the semester. Then, find a photo that displays that particular concept. You can pick something specific like ethnocentrism or racial profiling. Or, you can do something general like stratification, gender, or deviance. The photos you use can be ones that you have taken yourself, or images that you find online. Once you have the pictures, write short captions underneath them. These captions should be 3-4 sentences in length and explain how the picture relates to the sociological concept you are discussing. PLEASE DO NOT USE MEMES! You will lose points if you include these. It is your job to caption the picture, so do not use photos where someone else has already added text over the top to convey an idea. I have included an example below to help you along your way.
