Community college student mental health is a critical topic among
community college leaders, faculty, and staff. Mental health
concerns among community college students are more prevalent and
more pronounced than among students at four-year institutions. The
recent pandemic has further amplified students’ mental health
concerns. Poor mental health can negatively affect student success
outcomes such as persistence within courses, grade point average,
and credential completion. Even though the research in this area is
growing, additional work is necessary to fully grasp the scope and
details of the issue. Within this book, Latz outlines the contours
of the issue by explaining what is already known. She then uses
data from a study involving interviews with community college
faculty to further explain the issue from their unique and
important vantage points. Readers will learn about both the
professional lives of community college faculty and their
experiences with and perspectives of their students, many of whom
navigate mental health issues. The book is concluded with robust
recommendations for community college leaders who are seeking ways
to better support their students.

Photovoice is a form of participatory action research, which has
been gaining use and momentum since its inception in the mid-1990s.
Within the enactment of this methodology, research participants are
invited to document aspects of their lives through photography and
then provide written or oral accounts of the images they create.
Designed to situate participants as experts on their lives and
their experiences, photovoice is a powerful and visceral approach
to policy change efforts. In this book, the photovoice methodology
is conceptualized as being comprised of eight steps:
identification, invitation, education, documentation, narration,
ideation, presentation, and confirmation. Each of the steps is
explained and expanded upon, and insights are drawn from the extant
photovoice literature and the author's personal experience. In
addition, attention is given to the history of photography and
inquiry, theoretical underpinnings and aims of the methodology,
ethical considerations, methods and procedures, approaches to data
analysis, and photovoice exhibitions. Finally, the author has
attended to some aspects of photovoice that have historically been
left unattended, such as: building a conceptual framework for a
photovoice study, viewing the photovoice exhibition as a site of
inquiry, and thinking through the ways in which ever-evolving
photography technologies can and should impact decision-making
throughout the photovoice process. While many texts exist that
touch on and/or address photovoice, this is the first book solely
dedicated to the entirety of the photovoice methodology - from
theory to exhibition. Built as a practical guide, readers will find
a wealth of information, resources, and advice within this book.
Educators, students, and academic researchers will find this an
accessible and compassionate text, one that will be a trusted
companion while on the photovoice project journey.
Action Research for Kids provides teachers with comprehensive,
creative, and hands-on units to engage students in action research.
Students will benefit from learning about quantitative and
qualitative research practices that can make a real difference in
their lives and those within their communities. Within this text,
teachers can select a lesson or use whole units as students explore
research methods such as survey research, experimental research,
life history, and photovoice in fun lessons that ask them to create
a library wish list, interview people in their communities, lobby
for cookies in the cafeteria, and experiment with preservatives.
Each lesson comes with detailed instructions and ideas for
differentiation. Grades 5-8
