Health geographers are increasingly turning to a diverse range of
interpretative methodologies to explore the complexities of health,
illness, space and place to gain more comprehensive understandings
of well-being and broader social models of health and health care.
Drawing upon postmodernism, many health geographers are concerned
with issues of representation, the body and health care policy.
Also related to an emphasis on the body is the growing literature
in feminist health geography that investigates the metaphorical,
physical and emotional challenges of the body and disease.
Reflecting these interests, the chapters in this book set out the
host of creative qualitative methods being used to explore the
psychosocial experiences of individuals more directly, using such
traditional methods as in-depth interviews and group discussions,
participant observation, diaries and discourse analysis, but also
more novel techniques such as 'go-along interviews', reflexive
writing, illustrations, and photographic techniques. There are
several areas of qualitative research unique to geographers which
figure prominently in this volume including: health and place,
comparative case study analysis, and qualitative approaches to the
use of geographic information systems (GIS). This collection brings
together a wide range of empirical concerns related to questions of
health and shines a light on the diversity of qualitative methods
in practice. Illustrating how qualitative methodologies are used in
diverse health contexts this book fills an important niche for
health geographers but will have wide appeal to health and
geographic researchers.
