Critical Qualitative Health Research Summary

Critical Qualitative Health Research: Exploring Philosophies, Politics and Practices by Kay Aranda (University of Brighton, UK)

Critical Qualitative Health Research seeks to deepen understandings of the philosophies, politics and practices shaping contemporary qualitative health related research. This accessible, lively, controversial introduction draws on current empirical examples and critical discussion to show how qualitative research undertaken in neoliberal healthcare contexts emerges and the complex issues qualitative researchers confront.

This book provides readers with a critical, interrogative discussion of the histories and the legacies of qualitative research, as well as of the more recent calls for renewed criticality in research to respond to global health concerns. Contributions further showcase a range of contemporary work engaging with these issues and the complex encounters with philosophies, politics and practices this involves; from seeking explicit engagements with posthuman ideas or detailed explorations of deeply engaged humanist approaches, to critical discussions of the politics and practices of emerging novel, digital and creative methods.

This book offers postgraduate researchers, health researchers and students alike opportunities to engage more deeply with the emergent, complex and messy terrain of qualitative health related research.

Critical Qualitative Health Research Reviews

The introduction to this text promises a different perspective on qualitative research in healthcare, and its readers will not be disappointed. It takes a critical stance, and a discussion of the philosophical and political dimensions illuminates the complexities of this type of inquiry which is sometimes forgotten in other texts. The authors are known scholars and researchers in the field of health and social sciences research with a wide range of publications between them.

This edited volume maps contrasting routes to doing empirical qualitative research in health and social care contexts. It critically examines how knowledge is always contested, partial, perspectival and imbued with power relations. Kay Aranda, and her impressive gathering of diverse researcher-practitioners, do a fine job in responding to the call for researchers to be more explicitly reflexive about their choices. Authors explain their preferred methodological and epistemological paths and argue their vision of a society that prioritises anti-oppressive civic values over divisive positivist and market-led ideology. This is a timely contribution, reminding us all to care, question our philosophical assumptions, and engage in critical political debate. This philosophically-informed volume will be an invaluable resource for any doctoral student seeking direction through the bewildering terrain of contemporary qualitative methodologies.

This is a very interesting and impressive book focusing on critical qualitative research in healthcare, acknowledging the problematic of power and inequalities in how qualitative research has been and is designed from the perspective of the researcher as well as the research participants and the topics and issues researched. There is a great deal in this book for those engaged in qualitative research. The book supports new and novel approaches to qualitative research and this is a refreshing aspect for those looking for new ways to undertake qualitative research. In particular, I liked the consistent theme of co- producing research including the engagement and involvement of lay people and services users at all stages of the research. This is an important book for those who are using or plan to use qualitative research methodologies and it provides many examples of how to carry out credible and rigorous qualitative research.
