Synopsis

This book highlights the value of embodiment as a qualitative research tool and outlines what it means to do embodied research at various points of the research process. It shows how using this non-invasive approach with vulnerable research participants can help service users or research participants to be involved in the co- production of services and in participatory research. The author uses her own research with migrant women in London, whilst also considering other potential tools for practicing embodied research. The book combines theoretical groundwork with actual examples of application to think pragmatically about intersectionality through embodiment.
