We have a long history of conceptualizing “race” as a demographic characteristic of individuals, rather than as a process, or a characteristic of systems and societies. Even less often we use qualitative methods to explore connections between racialization and health.
In this talk, we show how strengths of qualitative methods, focused on complexity, process, contextualization, and meaning-making, are a necessary component of research on racialization to be successful in understanding and dismantling racialized health injustice.
