It is natural that the use of visual methods in education be concerned with the consent of adults, as the many students are under the age of majority, and as such require the consent of their adult caregivers. What does this consent and integration of consent look like when considering visual methods with young adults? By opening up ownership of a research project from its germination, this alters issues of consent from a traditional formation of an informed consent document, to one of an on-going conversation about the ownership and direction of a project. However, by ceding ownership of a research project, this opens up avenues for failure within research. This essay considers both of these in the context of one research project undertaken with college students exploring issues related to “strong emotions.” This project engaged with feminine experienced young adults to document their relationship with “strong emotions” through photography. We defined feminine experienced as a way to open up possibilities for all those who have or currently identified as femme during their lives. Using a participatory framework, the engagement of the photographers was central to both the direction of the project as well as the outcomes. This project serves educators and researchers in three ways. First, it centers on the experiences of a group of students to better understand the ways they move through systems of post-secondary education. Second, it helps us to reconsider how to engage ethically in visual methods when the positionality of the researcher and the co-researchers, in this case, the photographers, are often potentially and historically at odds. Finally, this essay considers notions of purposeful failure in research as a means to achieving a “moment when the here and now is transcended by a then and a there that could be and indeed should be” (Mu~ noz, 2009, p. 97).

有证据的失败：对视觉研究中奇怪失败的考虑

很自然地，在教育中使用视觉方法需要成年人的同意，因为许多学生还不到成年年龄，因此需要他们的成年照顾者的同意。在考虑与年轻人一起使用视觉方法时，这种同意和同意的整合是什么样的？通过从萌芽阶段开放研究项目的所有权，这将同意问题从传统的知情同意文件的形式转变为关于项目所有权和方向的持续对话之一。然而，通过放弃研究项目的所有权，这为研究失败开辟了道路。本文在一项研究项目的背景下考虑了这两种情况，该项目由大学生进行，探索与“强烈情绪”相关的问题。”这个项目与女性经验丰富的年轻人合作​​，通过摄影记录他们与“强烈情绪”的关系。我们将女性体验定义为一种为所有曾经或目前被认定为女性的人开辟可能性的方式。使用参与式框架，摄影师的参与对项目的方向和结果都至关重要。该项目以三种方式为教育工作者和研究人员服务。首先，它以一群学生的经历为中心，以更好地了解他们通过高等教育系统的方式。其次，当研究人员和共同研究人员（在这种情况下，摄影师）的位置经常潜在地和历史上不一致时，它帮助我们重新考虑如何在道德上参与视觉方法。最后，
