Abstract	School violence is a complex cultural problem that affects most schools. This study used a participatory action research model involving mapmaking, photography and intercultural grouping to understand how one school's physical environment and social geography contributed to interethnic tensions on campus. The study found that mapmaking allowed middle school students to see the campus-wide gestalt of interethnic tension that permeated their school culture and draw conclusions about it in intercultural discussion groups. Moreover, photography gave a visceral, visual language to this problem, allowing students to see and discuss problems which they did not map.
