  • Participating Unequally: Student Experiences at UWC Clowes, Lindsay Shefer, Tamara Ngabaza, Sisa Foreign Countries Undergraduate Students Equal Education Student Experience Womens Studies Feminism Student Research Student Empowerment Social Influences Photography Social Action Personal Narratives Exhibits Student Participation Qualitative Research Social Justice This paper uses Nancy Fraser's concept of participatory parity to reflect on data gathered by and from third year students in a final year research module in the Women's and Gender Studies Department at the University of the Western Cape in 2015. During the course students developed a research proposal, collected and shared data with other students, and then used this data to write a final (externally examinable) research report. Employing a participatory photovoice methodology, the students' research focused on ways in which social and group identities had shaped their experiences of feeling empowered and disempowered on campus. Each student took two photos representing experiences of feeling empowered and two of feeling disempowered on campus and wrote narratives of about 300 words explaining and describing the experience foregrounded by each image. Students shared these narratives and accompanying images with each other, their teachers and the wider university community through a public exhibition in the library. In the paper we draw on Fraser's concepts of maldistribution, misrecognition and misrepresentation to highlight constraints to equal participation identified by students.
