International Journal of Qualitative Methods

Deadline for articles: February 28th, 2011

Special Issues: Health Equity and Qualitative Methods
Guest Editors:  Miriam Stewart and Wendy Austin

Qualitative methodologies provide a unique way to link methodological approaches with issues of health equity and social justice.  The aim of this Special Issues edition of IJQM is to: elucidate methodological insights and issues related to investigation of health equity; highlight the relationship between qualitative methodologies and equity; generate dialogue; and promote greater theoretical and practical integration of issues of health equity in qualitative research. We invite authors to explore health and social justice from diverse perspectives. This can involve the investigation of the complex factors that influence health equity, the testing of interventions designed to reduce inequities experienced by vulnerable populations, and the examination of implications for programs, practice, and policies in health and health-related sectors.  We invite articles by scholars, practitioners, and service providers from diverse disciplines, as well as from community members and encourage submissions from an international perspective.
