Practicing Qualitative Methods in Health Geographies

Health geographers are increasingly turning to a diverse range of interpretative methodologies to explore the complexities of health, illness, space and place. This book sets out the host of creative qualitative methods used to explore the psychosocial experiences of individuals, including in-depth interviews, group discussions, participant observation, diaries, discourse analysis, as well as novel techniques such as 'go-along interviews', reflexive writing, illustrations, and photographic techniques. Illustrating how qualitative methodologies are used, this book fills an important niche for health geographers but will have wide appeal to health and geographic researchers.
