Research Methods in Health Humanities surveys the diverse and
unique research methods used by scholars in the growing,
transdisciplinary field of health humanities. Appropriate for
advanced undergraduates, but rich enough to engage more seasoned
students and scholars, this volume is an essential teaching and
reference tool for health humanities teachers and scholars. Health
humanities is a field committed to social justice and to applying
expertise to real world concerns, creating research that translates
to participants and communities in meaningful and useful ways. The
chapters in this field-defining volume reflect these values by
examining the human aspects of health and health care that are
critical, reflective, textual, contextual, qualitative, and
quantitative. Divided into four sections, the volume demonstrates
how to conduct research on texts, contexts, people, and programs.
Readers will find research methods from traditional disciplines
adapted to health humanities work, such as close reading of diverse
texts, archival research, ethnography, interviews, and surveys. The
book also features transdisciplinary methods unique to the health
humanities, such as health and social justice studies, digital
health humanities, and community dialogues. Each chapter provides
learning objectives, step-by-step instructions, resources, and
exercises, with illustrations of the method provided by the
authors' own research. An invaluable tool in learning, curricular
development, and research design, this volume provides a grounding
in the traditions of the humanities, fine arts, and social sciences
for students considering health care careers, but also provides
useful tools of inquiry for everyone, as we are all future patients
and future caregivers of a loved one.
