Our Research
About our research
The HSE Collective is based within King’s College London’s Health Inequalities & Inequities Research Group (HIRG) which focuses on discrimination and other forms of social adversity; community mental health; inequities in mental health and health services.
We are also connected to the Health Inequalities Research Network Health Inequalities Research Network (HERON) which works towards reducing health inequalities through integrated research, evaluation and engagement activities and supports a variety of projects that highlight health inequalities using different forms of media such as art, photography, performance and podcasting. We are especially interested in using participatory approaches, co-production, peer research and mixed methods approaches.
Research projects
Our partners are working on a range of projects with other members of the Collective, as well as external partners. We aim to amplify and develop their emerging or existing projects to develop and enhance inclusive practice such as, collaborative priority setting, partnership development, co-design, ethical practices, co-production and capacity building.
These are some examples of the projects being co-led by the Health Inequities Research Group, which forms part of the Collective.
We emphasise social justice by centring the lived experience of marginalised communities to challenge ‘deficit’ narratives prevalent within our sectors, and ultimately to instigate fair, impactful and human-centred solutions that confront the systems which sustain health and social inequalities locally, regionally and globally.
