Subproject

This PhD project uses a social science method-mix including multi-sited ethnography, focus group discussions and drawing-elicitations to a) explore healthcare practices on an individual level and their sociocultural embedment, b) reconstruct potentially shared health and illness beliefs within and across different communities - to look at collective patterns, and c) to understand and explain how societal division might emerge from landscapes of health and illness in the context of pandemic emergency and thus to reflect health equity for future pandemic response.
