Description

Thinking In Between is back! On this episode, we welcome Dr Natassia Brenman, who is a senior qualitative researcher at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford. Nat's research focuses on the challenges around improving access to healthcare and how technologies influence health practices. Today, she discusses three big ideas that have influenced her research and thinking:

  2. Lury, C. and Wakeford on ‘Inventive methods’ – Introduction to Inventive Methods: The happening of the social. London and New York: Routledge, pp. 25–36

  3. Donna Haraway, and more recently Jasbir K Puar on ‘Cyborgs and Goddesses.
