| dc.description.abstract | This qualitative exploratory study centres on the identity, relationship and experiences of six women who have survived a brain injury, as told through their narratives and photographs. Situated in a critical feminist disability framework, and using a visual narrative methodology, this study utilized photo-voice inspired methods with semi-structured individual and focus-group interviews to combine visual and narrative dialogues. The focus of this research is on how the body plays a role in identity, relationships and being in the world after the challenge of surviving a brain injury. This research invites the reader into the intersections between public spaces, cultural norms and societal expectations, and the private worlds, perspectives and identities of the participants. | en_US |
