Description
Keynote speaker for a lecture and workshop on my book, Public Health, Humanities and Magical Realism: A Creative-Relational Approach to Researching Human Experience.In the lecture, I reflected on my work, described as ‘a reflexive, practical, and paradigm-shifting text that espouses important messages about relationality, research practice, and well-being’.
Drawing from my ethical, ontological and epistemological dilemmas when studying controversial topics, and methodological evaluation framework to measure impacts of creative community engagement, I ague that traditional methodologies and conceptualisations of evidence have the potential to exacerbate health inequalities by excluding and misrepresenting minorities.
Through different ways of knowing (epistemology) and different ways of being (ontology), we reflected on how to design studies, make recommendations and adapt services that are aligned with views and experiences of those living on the margins and beyond.
