The Participatory Documentary Storytelling Project provides our SDSU social work graduate student interns an opportunity to explore their cultural identities and how they inform their social work practice.
The interns work with Kayla Mulholland, MSW and Visual Anthropologist, to learn how to write scripts, storyboard, interview, film and use ethnographic inquiry as the methodology for their film projects.
Students use self-reflection in their writing and film to describe and share their individual cultural identities. This project serves as a tool for the students to explore their cultural identities, as well as an opportunity to teach their peers about their diverse life experiences and backgrounds. The completed projects are shared by the students with their class and community at the end of the school year.
