Acknowledgements

This book arose as a response to research methods training needs in the classroom as well as ‘in the field’, and so I am particularly grateful to Cathia Jenainati, whose support enabled the space for this book to materialise. The content of this book draws on my own interdisciplinary research experiences and training, much of which took place under the patient and encouraging guidance of Proochista Ariana. Other supervisors, mentors, and teachers have left their indirect impact on the positions in this book as well, among whom I would especially like to thank Eva Terberger, Marlis Sieburger, Felix Reed-Tsochas, How Lih Ren, and Thomas Koch. Likewise, without the insight from colleagues, researchers, and research assistants from whose experience and views I could learn, this book would have very little content indeed, and I would like to acknowledge in particular Nutcha Charoenboon, Paridhi Jain, Nutan Jain, Li Hong Min, Li Jian, Thipphaphone Xayavong, Penporn Warapikuptanun, Kanokporn Wibunjak, Patthanan Thavethanutthanawin, Yuzana Khine Zaw, Mukdawan Sakboon, Prasit Leepreecha, Giacomo Zanello, Caroline Jones, Vicki Marsh, Yoel Lubell, Elizabeth Elliott, Jessica Savage, Jocelyn Watkins, Thomas Althaus, Ivo Vlaev, Marco Liverani, and Clare Chandler.

This work would not have been possible without financial support for qualitative and mixed-method research projects that are featured in this book: ‘Antibiotics and Activity Spaces’ was funded by the Antimicrobial Resistance Cross Council Initiative supported by the seven research councils in partnership with the Department of Health and Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (Grant Ref. ES/P00511X/1, administered by the UK Economic and Social Research Council) together with public engagement funding from the University of Warwick’s Humanities Research Fund and the Global Research Priority on Connecting Cultures. ‘What if precarity causes drug resistance?’ was funded by the University of Warwick Institute of Advanced Study and the Global Research Priority on International Development. ‘Protected Areas and People: Exploring perceived wisdoms surrounding natural resource management and sustainability’ was funded by the University of Warwick Global Challenges Research Fund Catalyst Fund. ‘The impact of C-reactive protein testing on antibiotic prescription in febrile patients attending primary care in low-resource settings’ was funded by the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics, the Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund, and the Wellcome Trust Engaging Science Grant (105032/Z/14/Z).
