About the journal

Health Inquiries is an open-access, student-led journal that aims to advance interdisciplinary discourse about diverse ways of knowing and doing health research.

It allows for the navigation of multiple research paradigms, critical reflection on one’s epistemological position, and engagement in pluralistic, transformative approaches to health research. It is managed and populated by PhD Health students and PhD Health faculty member, Dr. Shanon Phelan.

Multiple paradigmsWork that navigates more than one way of framing a health question, and says which one it is standing in.
Critical reflectionAuthors situating themselves — their position, their assumptions, and what those make visible or hide.
Written, audio, videoWe welcome arts-based and written submissions.
