CALL FOR PAPERS
ENQUIRE journal
Issue title: A healthy research realm?: Placing oneself in health and illness
research
Papers from doctoral students, post-docs and early career academics are
desired.
In this issue we invite authors to explore the place of the social science
researcher within the practice of health and illness research. Self-reflection
and rumination upon the role and experiences of the researcher within the
research is the aim. We are keen to explore the challenges posed in a field
where differences in health status (or indeed similarities) are the focus of
investigation. We encourage authors to discuss their research experiences and
debate whether these experiences feed into an increased understanding of
the research realm. We welcome papers from all ontological, epistemological,
methodological and theoretical standpoints. Authors are invited to situate
their experiences either in direct relation to a specific set of research findings
or as a debate separate from a particular study.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- challenges (personal/analytical) researchers face when attempting to
interpret and understand research participants’ narratives of illness and its
often associated experiences (pain/fear/hope/treatment, etc.),
- mixing of roles (e.g. supportive/consolatory/advisory) and how this affects
the researcher-researched and researcher–research relationships,
- interpretation issues associated with participant’s and researcher’s dissimilar
understandings of health and illness,
- experiences of a healthy researcher exploring participants’ reduced level of
health,
- debates concerning the practice of auto-ethnographic health research,
- discussions of power between the healthy (or unhealthy) researcher and
health research participants.
Deadline: 20th APRIL 2009
Papers should be no more than 8,000 words in length, including appendices,
tables, and references. Detailed guidelines for authors can be found on the
ENQUIRE website at: www.nottingham.ac.uk/sociology/enquire.
