Seeing Each Other: Photovoice as a Bridge, with Roman Williams
I've been part of a lot of facilitated conversations over the years. But I'm not sure I've ever felt so quickly connected to a group of strangers as I did in the 90 minutes I spent in a Photovoice session with Roman Williams' team. Something opened up in that room (or Zoom) that doesn't usually happen so fast. This episode is my attempt to understand why.
Roman Williams is a sociologist, the founder of Interfaith Photovoice, and the author of Sacred Snaps: Photovoice for Interfaith Engagement. He's spent years using participatory photography to help people across deep differences actually see each other. What he's built is equal parts research methodology, community practice, and quiet act of faith in human connection.
In this episode, Roman shares how a lunchtime conversation and a borrowed methodology from public health became his new approach to one of community building's oldest problems, and why he believes the smartphone in your pocket might be one of the most underused tools for bringing people together across difference.
