In this sole-authored chapter, Dr. Christabel Cheung introduces an innovative Model of Embodied Research, offering a paradigm shift in healthcare research that prioritizes lived experiences as a pathway to advancing health equity. Dr. Cheung incorporates qualitative research strategies to demonstrate how embodied research methods enhance methodological rigor and inclusivity, particularly for marginalized and minoritized patient populations. Drawing from her work in adolescent and young adult oncology, she challenges traditional notions of scientific objectivity and advocates for transformative research practices to address health disparities.
