Visual Elicitation Critical Discourse Analysis

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.
