Fionagh Thomson

Fionagh Thomson is a methodologist and medical ethnographer with an interest in how to create the space and time with participants to think through and describe their everyday lives: focusing on what people do rather than what they think they do. She works with video, camera, paper and conversation. Her current research interests include: different representations of the ‘body’ in medical spaces, the extension of our senses through tools/technologies in meaning-making, hermeneutics (Gadamer, Ricoeur & Ihde) and the challenges of accessing everyday embodied experiences not easily represented through pen or voice.
