LHS:STAT

The next invigorating and inspiring episode has arrived, enveloped in insightful conversation with Jane Zhao, comic artist and primary care researcher based in Toronto, Canada. Jane is also completing a PhD in health policy and health services research at the University of Toronto. We foray into the topic of positionality, Jane's story and her personal experiences and reflections on arts-based approaches, particularly comics, in health research. We explore how creative methods can deepen research by making knowledge more accessible, relational, and impactful. Through Jane's storytelling and lived experience, it highlights how arts-based approaches foster meaningful engagement, amplify diverse voices, and bridge the gap between evidence and practice. Listeners (from the arts-based KMb curious to the connoisseur) will continue to gain insight into how creativity can transform the way we understand, share, and mobilize knowledge within learning health systems. Hosted by Candace Ramjohn, Alberta SPOR SUPPORT Unit Learning Health System Team.Links to Jane's work:Cover art for a journal: ojs.library.dal.ca/hpj/article/view/11721/10509Podcast: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/chal…i=1000655168545Book chapter : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1…19853855.ch24

The conversation continues on Arts-based Patient Oriented Research for You (AB POR You) series, with special guest Minn N. Yoon, Associate Professor, Mike Petryk School of Dentistry. Dr. Minn N. Yoon is an associate professor at the University of Alberta who utilizes arts-based research, such as the "see me, hear me, heal me" project, to humanize the clinical experiences of patients with head and neck cancer. By integrating storytelling and visual arts into research and knowledge mobilization, she advocates for a more empathetic, social approach to healthcare that addresses the needs of vulnerable and marginalized populations.

In this next exciting conversation of the Arts-Based POR You series, hear Yelena Gluzman, an interdisciplinary scholar and an experimental theater director and filmmaker whose work draws on feminist STS, critical disability studies, ethnomethodology and distributed cognition. Her recent projects investigate how "other minds" are staged in laboratory experiments (Cognitive Neuroscience and the Experimental Theater of Other Minds, 2021), and trace the distributed and embodied communication ecologies of captioners who transcribe in real time for d/Deaf and Hard-of-hearing students. Her publications contribute to discussions on performance as research (PaR) and consider the promises of experimental reflexivity and "research as theater" (RaT). She is currently Assistant Professor of Science, Technology, and Society Studies in the Department of Art and Design at the University of Alberta.

Tune in to another exceptional episode of the LHS:STAT AB POR You (Arts-based Patient-Oriented Research [for] You series, where we engage in reflexive conversations on arts-based knowledge mobilization and what it means for whom, with whom, and by whom this work is being done. Hosted by Candace Ramjohn, Visual Alchemist and Knowledge Mobilization Specialist for the Alberta SPOR SUPPORT Unit, this episode features Michael Frost - an artist, an Advocate, a gardener, a care partner for his mom, and a volunteer at a local community respite care organization. Michael is also an autistic person who is active in the patient-oriented research space, exploring oral healthcare and non-evidenced disability.Check out Michael's YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/@sculptingthoughtsculptingd223
