Through Our Eyes, Hear Our Voices is a virtual photovoice project that documents the impact of COVID-19 on Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities. Quantitative studies on the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 are still emerging, but they do not reveal qualitative experiences of a racialized pandemic exacerbated by political leaders labeling it "China virus." As a qualitative participatory action research approach, photovoice is an ideal archival and pedagogical tool to capture the lived experience of AAPI communities. However, we had to adapt photovoice to a virtual research environment. We did so by adopting a variety of digital learning and information sharing platforms. In addition, we enlisted community-based organizations who are providing essential services for underrepresented communities to serve as research mentors for university student researchers. Finally, given the historic nature of the pandemic and the underrepresentation of AAPI experiences in mainstream archives, we emphasized the importance of students as co-producers of archival knowledge.
《透过我们的眼睛，聆听我们的声音》是一个虚拟的影像纪实项目，记录了新冠疫情对亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民（AAPI）社区的影响。关于新冠疫情不成比例影响的定量研究仍在不断涌现，但这些研究并没有揭示出因政治领导人将其称为“中国病毒”而加剧的种族化大流行病的定性经历。作为一种定性的参与式行动研究方法，影像纪实是捕捉 AAPI 社区生活经历的理想档案和教学工具。然而，我们不得不将影像纪实适应虚拟的研究环境。为此，我们采用了各种数字学习和信息共享平台。此外，我们还招募了为代表性不足的社区提供基本服务的社区组织，让他们担任大学生研究人员的研究导师。最后，鉴于大流行病的历史性以及主流档案中 AAPI 经历的代表性不足，我们强调了学生作为档案知识共同生产者的重要性。
