Creative research, “tends to resist binary or categorical thinking,” and can gather both qualitative and quantitative data. Just both? Why stop there? The Queering Futures Framework (QFF) disregards traditional mixed methods research conventions. It Queers methodology.

IASDR Conference Series
This healthcare co-design project supported the spatial and service design of a new residential eating disorders (ED) facility at a major metropolitan hospital in Melbourne, Australia. We present two interrelated co-design engagements that brought together 35 people, including clinical leaders, frontline providers, lived experience advocates and peer mentors. Our findings are now being used to guide planning for the design and construction of the new facility as part of established architectural planning processes. We mobilised design methodologies to navigate the tensions between the clinical needs of the facility and its staff, along with the multifaceted needs of the future residents …
