Diseases Have Causes is Dr Storm’s first interdisciplinary academic monograph. It explores the genesis of her learning play Jam Tarts and Gingerbread and the subsequent controversy it caused. Jam Tarts and Gingerbread was written in the context of a practice-as-research (PaR) PhD project that sought to explore the potential of art, and later drama and the theatre arts more specifically, to function as an alternative to lifestyle interventions for childhood obesity. Part-academic, part-creative and part-autobiographical, Diseases Have Causes will interest you if you have ever dipped your toe in the complex border-landscapes between science and the arts and suddenly found that everything you thought you knew was standing on its head. In considering the question of how nutritional knowledge is formed and shared, Dr Storm examines the philosophical relationships between knowledge and truth, and the sociological relationships between knowledge and power.
