Qualitative Open Mic: Anti-racist Qualitative Health Research - Ricardo Twumasi on being anti-racist in how we share qualitative research

In this series, we look at whether, how, and to what extent qualitative health research can contribute towards anti-racism and decolonisation. We take a journey through qualitative research, exploring at how theoretical framing, topic, process, results, sharing findings and impact can contribute to the cause of anti-racism.

In this episode:

Ricardo Twumasi is a lecturer at King’s College London within the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience. His PhD research related to the impact of legislative change on the aging workforce and equality at work. His research interests also include discrimination, equality, workplace health promotion, and the influence of artificial intelligence and machine learning to fairness at work.

In this episode, Ricardo discusses how the way we publish and share qualitative health research can help or hinder the cause of anti-racism. He introduces a new anti-racist health inequalities journal he and Sohail have created, Stolen Tools. They talk about why this journal addresses a gap in qualitative health research and how they hope to increase access to higher education for Black and Brown people.
