Zining! As an Arts-Based Research Method

Join us for Dr. Kelli Stajduhar’s CRC Talks January 25, 2024 1:30-2:30pm PST! We are hosting Piotr Burek and Alexandra Stewart who will discuss: Zining! as an Arts-Based Research Method.

As part of an ongoing Participatory Action Research project conducted by Dr. Kelli Stajduhar through the Integrating Palliative Approaches to Care in the Inner-City study at the University of Victoria, Piotr Burek and Lexy Stewart conducted a zine-making workshop to explore what palliative care means to inner-city workers in the context of extreme injustice and persistent death. In this presentation we explore the potential of zine-making as a method to discover and co-produce unique knowledge in public health palliative care research.
