    No Happy Ending...Using Participatory Research to Produce a Photo-Novel About Unemployment with an English-As-a-Second-Language (ESL) Class
    (International Forum on Participatory Research, 1980) Tobias, Kathleen Jo; Unda, Jean
    This paper discusses the use of participatory research methods, particularly the development of a photo-novel, to address unemployment among immigrant women in Canada. The study examines the socioeconomic challenges faced by immigrant women, including high unemployment rates and workplace exploitation. By combining English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) instruction with consciousness-raising activities, the project facilitated collective analysis and action among participants. Conducted in collaboration with St. Christopher House and the Toronto Education Board, the project highlights the potential of participatory education to empower marginalized communities.
