Living Proof: Experience as Evidence in Pain Research

Our podcast brings together researchers, partners, and people with lived experience to ask: What counts as evidence, and how is it shared? From personal stories to research insights, Living Proof challenges the status quo and reimagines what knowledge can look like in pain research.

Exploring Meaningful Engagement

Hosted by Desmond Williams and Emerald Asuncion, two people with lived experience of chronic pain and marginalization, Living Proof seeks to bridge communities of care through dialogue and learning. We ask questions about how lived experience can be integrated as research evidence through meaningful engagement.

 Chronic pain is a major public health issue. For people who experience social inequities and structural violence, pain and related care are often linked to experiences of injustice and stigma. This means that chronic pain must also be viewed as a social justice issue.
