“Growing daisies through the slabs”
Place-based community resilience projects are increasingly harnessing creativity to promote local resilience in response to social and environmental risks. To achieve this, co-production methods have become a popular way to develop the necessary relationships between communities and local governing institutions for equitable transformation. This paper investigated a co-produced community resilience initiative commissioned in North Lanarkshire, Sc…
Not quite home
Community assets may play an important role in enabling ageing in place. Features like access to health and social care, physical environments that support mobility, natural environments and community spaces that sustain social connection may influence whether people can continue to live successfully at home. Increasing digitisation and spatial data availability have expanded opportunities to measure such characteristics quantitatively. We review…
Ethical Tensions
Community-based research (CBR) is increasingly used when investigating experiences of those whose voices are historically marginalised. REALITIES (Researching Evidence-based Alternatives in Living, Imaginative, Traumatised, Integrated, Embodied Systems in health disparities) takes a CBR approach to understand and re-imagine systems of health and social care so that they might better meet the needs of those under-served groups who most need them. …
Summoning the Genius Temporis
This paper considers how conceptions of time might affect the transformative potential of arts-based and creative approaches to policy making. It draws on a project that employed the arts to tackle place-based health inequalities in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, arguing that conventional understandings of time as linear can be limiting. Space, time, and mattering are explored in relation to social justice through a montage of excerpts of creative …
Realities in health disparities
Introduction: Under the backdrop of pervasive health inequalities, public health professionals, researchers and non-academic partners in the United Kingdom are mobilising to understand how and in what ways community assets can address health disparities at scale in complex systems. While there is recognition that cultural, natural and community resources can improve health outcomes, these are unequally dispersed with lack of integration in commun…
Autoethnography as a Debriefing Strategy
Today’s qualitative research may take place in complicated ethnographic fields, which situate researchers near difficult experiences at an individual, community, environmental or political level. The current academic climate frequently ignores the emotional impact of doing research under challenging circumstances. The overarching culture in higher education is one that carries taboos around ‘what is’ and ‘what is not’ expected from the researcher…
Cholo, Cholear, Choleando
In this essay we explore the openings that assemblage/ethnography brings for understanding the complexities of and beyond epistemic injustice. Through remembering the gesture of a grandmother and her migration from the Northern Andes of Peru to the capital city of Lima, we work with the Peruvianism “cholo, cholear, choleando” to illustrate how epistemic injustice infiltrates everyday life. Attempting to sit in between the personal and the cultura…
Seeking Refuge in South Africa
This article refines the participatory body‐mapping process drawing insights from a preparatory workshop in South Africa, the country of origin of the method. Widely used in trauma‐informed research, body‐mapping as an art‐based method enables participants to express embodied experiences through non‐verbal storytelling. Responding to critiques of its cultural appropriation by the Global North, we engaged with scholars working with marginalised po…
Public Health, Humanities and Magical Realism
Qualitative Inquiry, Activism, the Academy, and the Infinite Game
This is the first of two special issues on qualitative inquiry as activism. This first issue focuses upon activism and/in the academy (academic work, academic cultures, academic practices, etc.), the second on activism in the processes of research itself and activism beyond the academy, in the world. Two issues with different themes, but the overlaps and conversations between them are both obvious and significant: inquiry is part of, rooted in, t…
‘Already Given Over’
This is the second of two part-issues on qualitative inquiry as activism. The first focused upon activism and/in the academy (academic work, academic cultures, academic practices, etc.), and this second focuses upon activism in the processes of research itself and activism beyond the academy, in the world. Drawing upon Butler’s claim that we are always already, from the outset, ‘given over’ to the human, non-human and more-than-human other, we ar…
Some Openings, Possibilities, and Constraints of Creative-Relational Inquiry
In this essay, we consider the emergence of the concept of creative-relational inquiry (C-RI). We want to push further at the engagement between the creative, the relational, and the hyphen that binds them, and how it might provide a nuanced effort to problematize, and provide alternatives for, taken-for-granted assumptions concerning research and research practices. We work with C-RI as a concept and/or concept-as-methodology, and consider explo…
Evaluating and evidencing asset-based approaches and co-production in health inequalities
We provide new empirical and methodological findings problematising evidence, evaluation and measurement when using asset-based approaches and co-production to improve health and address inequalities. The Assets Model was applied to develop and implement a co-produced methodological evaluation framework – Asset-Based Indicator Framework – measuring impacts of creative community engagement on health and inequalities. Our three-phased approach synt…
Hostage to fortune
The tobacco market has been transformed by the arrival of e-cigarettes and array of alternative nicotine delivery systems (ANDS). Public health has struggled to cope with these changes and clear divisions are apparent, but less is known about the tobacco industry (TI) response. This first empirical study to examine TI and independent ANDS companies' business strategies fills this gap. Primary data were collected through 28 elite interviews with s…
Tackling health inequalities through asset-based approaches, co-production and empowerment
‘Empowerment’ and ‘engagement’ are regulatory responses to tackling health inequalities. This paper explores how communities and practitioners are engaging with co-produced, person-centred, assetbased approaches in real-life settings through 35 semi-structured interviews alongside a six-month ethnography in an ethnically diverse, disadvantaged Scottish neighbourhood. Iterative analysis identified emergent themes. Deductive, theoretical analysis f…
Novel Means of Using Cigarette Packaging and Cigarettes to Communicate Health Risk and Cessation Messages
Young women smokers’ perceptions and use of counterfeit cigarettes
Opponents of plain tobacco packaging argue that it would make production of counterfeit tobacco products cheaper; lower costs for consumers; confuse consumers in respect to product authenticity; and increase appeal and purchase of counterfeit tobacco. We explored the last of these contentions with young women smokers (N = 49), aged 16–24 years, recruited in Glasgow (Scotland). Participants were firstly asked about their perceptions and purchase o…
