Σύνοψη	Visual Elicitation Critical Discourse Analysis (VECDA) is a qualitative methodology that uses photographs, drawings, or other visual materials as prompts to elicit participant talk, then subjects both the visual artifacts and the resulting discourse to critical discourse analysis (CDA). The approach uncovers how power, ideology, and social structures are reproduced or contested through the interplay of image and language, making it particularly powerful for social justice, health, education, and media research.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
