Co-creating a graphic illness narrative with people with dementia
This article reports on a project that aimed to pilot a collaborative, patient-led approach to comics creation by developing an artistic process that allows people living with dementia to communicate their experiences and express their opinions. People living with dementia are rarely given the opportunity of speaking for themselves in the media; someone else usually speaks on their behalf, for example family or carers. In the novel approach to co…
Bibliotherapy in practice: A person-centred approach to using books for mental health and dementia in the community
Bibliotherapy is the use of texts to provide support for people with mental and physical health problems. It is widely seen to have beneficial outcomes but there is still disagreement about how best to deliver bibliotherapy in practice.

Using a multimethod qualitative research design including refle…

We can do it imaginatively first!’: Creating a magic circle in a radical community education setting
Working with social haunting was a community-based participatory research project that aimed to investigate how contested pasts carry affective meanings in ways that defy conventional forms of knowledge representation. The project illustrated the potential of the use of playful approaches within adult learning and specifically within a radical community educational approach that draws on transformative learning theory. This article reports on a w…
Near Future School: World building beyond a neoliberal present with participatory design fictions
This article reports on one part of an on-going project, the Near Future School, which aims to translate and explore the potential of participatory design fiction practices for use with young people and those that work with them to explore near future scenarios of education that open up alternative and plural futures in the context of processes of foreclosure in a neoliberalising society. The focus here is to explore the practical and ethical iss…
Consent revisited: The impact of return of results on participants' views and expectations about trial participation
BACKGROUND: Increasingly, the sharing of study results with participants is advocated as an element of good research practice. Yet little is known about how receiving the results of trials may impact on participants' perceptions of their original decision to consent. OBJECTIVE: We explored participants' views of their decision to consent to a clinical trial after they received results showing adverse outcomes in some arms of the trial. METHOD: Se…
Humanising illness: Presenting health information in educational comics
Research into the effectiveness of comic books as health education tools overwhelmingly consists of studies evaluating the information learnt as a result of reading the comic, for example using preintervention and postintervention questionnaires. In essence, these studies evaluate comics in the same way in which a patient information leaflet might be evaluated, but they fail to evaluate the narrative element of comics. Health information comics h…
