Incorporating arts-based methods into research, such as storytelling, has been shown to enrich data interpretation and provide deeper understanding of health experiences, particularly in women's health studies.
”The ethics and values we hold for ourselves as freelancers are a huge part of our energy and how we work, so these become exaggerated with more pressure & more need for an understanding of how we must choose to distribute that energy.”
“More people & more stories need to be involved in the research and participate in how we manage the menopause and other female health conditions. We need real stories.”
“This is all connected; our health, our economy, our future.”
“My story is about menopause plus a chronic health issue. I don’t see much support or conversation around freelancing with health issues.”
“How can we be responsible as those people booking photographers or artists, cast or crew. How can we ensure supply chain transparency and ensure we can push equality across the board?”
