Hope that helps.

Hello All,

I have a student working on a project we are tentatively calling "Narratives and Performances of Wellness," where she is interested in how participants in an organized arts/music group mask ailments, injury, or other things to maintain status and ensure continued participation in the group.  Methodologically we are not having an issue (but if you have suggestions, please advise!). However, we are having a bit of a problem locating linganth/siociolinguistic/ling uistic work related to the subject matter at hand.  Any resources you could suggest would be most appreciated.

best,

leighton
