CALL FOR PEER REVIEWERS:
"A healthy research realm? Placing oneself in health and illness research"
Following the call for papers for the fourth issue of ENQUIRE, we ask
for additional peer reviewers to provide reviews on submitted papers.
Peer-reviewing provides valuable experience in the publishing process,
and we invite you to take part in the production of this exciting
issue whilst gaining useful experience in a publication aimed at
post-doctoral students and early career academics. We invite
reviewers from relevant thematic
backgrounds or with a methodological interest in reflexivity more broadly.
An extract from the call for papers is given below to assist with
locating thematic congruence. Please feel free to circulate this to
potentially interested parties. Deadline for expressions of interest
is 25th May 2009.
Extract from the call for papers
In this 4th 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.
If you are interested in being a peer-reviewer for this issue, or
would like further details, then please contact us on
[log in to unmask] before 25th May. You can visit our website
at www.nottingham.ac.uk/sociology/enquire for access to previous
issues, our conference and how to become involved more generally.
Thank you on behalf of ENQUIRE,
