@article{Hodgins_Boydell_2013, title={Interrogating Ourselves: Reflections on Arts-Based Health Research}, volume={15}, url={https://www.qualitative-research.net/index.php/fqs/article/view/2018}, DOI={10.17169/fqs-15.1.2018}, abstractNote={<p>This article is deliberately unconventional in style and reflects a conversation between us—Katherine, senior scientist/principal investigator and Michael, research coordinator—as we embark on an arts-based health research study to explore the theoretical, methodological and ethical challenges faced by scientists, artists and trainees who are "doing" arts-based health research (ABHR). Our narrative is based on reflexive and observational field notes that we kept during the research process. We draw on ELLIS and BOCHNER’s (2000) autoethnographic practices of writing reflexively about the ways in which the self informs one’s work as a researcher. As a beginning, we each reflect upon our own perspectives on the importance of the arts in our lives. We then move to a conversation between us regarding using the arts in the process of both doing research and disseminating research that illustrates some of the key issues in the field.</p><p>URN: <a href="http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs1401106">http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs1401106</a></p>}, number={1}, journal={Forum Qualitative Sozialforschung / Forum: Qualitative Social Research}, author={Hodgins, Michael J. and Boydell, Katherine}, year={2013}, month={Nov.} }
