The research theme promotes collaborations within, across and beyond institutional contexts and transformative praxis and methodological pluralism. The theme creates a critical space that foregrounds the embodied and lived experiences of illness, disability and wellbeing.
Work in this theme also reflects the city of Liverpool and the University's long history of radical politics to inform policy and practice by bringing alternative and activist voices to the fore, recognising that expertise comes in many forms.
Research topics include
- health and environment relations
- critical disability and Crip studies, activism, chronic illness, chronic pain and inequalities
- power and politics in the production of medical knowledge including decolonial approaches
- creative methods
- recovery from substance use and mental illness
- reproductive and abortion justice.
Partners include Liverpool Biennial, International Slavery Museum, Chronic illness Inclusion, Healing Justice London, DaDaFest , the Wirral Qualitative Insight team and Grey Broken Wires.
