research overview |
<p>My research sits broadly within medical anthropology and medical sociology, drawing
primarily on ethnographic methods. Through these lenses, I address normative concepts
within end-of-life care to understand the complexity of care delivery and experiences.
To this end, I focus on policy, organisational approaches, and personal experiences
of living with life-limiting conditions and end-of-life care. By focusing on normative
concepts in end-of-life care– such as choice– I juxtapose these elements
to examine how end-of-life care is changing and how these concepts shape the way death
and dying is experienced. My research is part of an emerging body of work that attends
to relationality and care. It contributes to a wider policy and practice shift in
advance care planning and end-of-life care from standardised approaches to ones that
acknowledge the relational aspects of care and future decision-making.</p><p>My two
current main research projects examine palliative and end-of-life care, working closely
with clinical collaborators. I am a Co-Investigator on an ESRC-funded project,<a href="https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/research/centres-projects-groups/forms-of-care"
rel="nofollow">Forms of Care</a>, working with Prof Simon Cohn and Dr Annelieke Driessen
at LSHTM. Here we are critically seeking to understand what not intervening looks
like and how we can appreciate such‘non-actions’ as care. My other project,
working with Prof Richard Holti, is the InGap Study - describing how geriatric medicine
and palliative care work together to provide care for older patients.</p><p>I use
my experience of conducting research on end-of-life care to build research capacity
around death and dying more generally. For instance, I created and facilitated a workshop
about<a href="http://www.medanthrotheory.org/read/11045/researching-end-of-life-care"
rel="nofollow">social science research on end-of-life care</a>. This has resulted
in several publications and spin-off events, as well as a dedicated virtual group
to foster collaborations and share research opportunities and outputs. My interest
in the links between epistemology, methodology, and personal experiences of conducting
research in death studies has led me to editing several publications about research
methodology, including a co-edited book<em><a href="https://www.routledge.com/Researching-Death-Dying-and-Bereavement-1st-Edition/Borgstrom-Ellis-Woodthorpe/p/book/9781138103085"
rel="nofollow">Researching Death, Dying and Bereavement</a></em>. I also regularly
mentor doctoral students and early-career researchers, and I have capacity to supervise
more doctoral students at the Open University -<u><a href="mailto:erica.borgstrom@open.ac.uk"
