• 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 range of complex issues qualitative researchers confront. This book provides readers with an interrogative discussion of the histories and the legacies of qualitative research as well as the more recent calls for renewed criticality and demands for activism in research to respond to global health concerns. Contributions further showcase a range of contemporary work engaging with these issues and the encounters with philosophies, politics and practices this involves; from seeking explicit engagements with more recent posthuman ideas, as well as detailed and revised explorations of deeply engaged humanist approaches, to further critical discussions of the politics and practices of novel, digital and creative methods. This book offers postgraduate researchers, health researchers and students opportunities to engage with the emergent and messy terrain of qualitative health-related research.
