{Abstract}: This article advocates for qualitative research in veterinary medicine, highlighting its importance for understanding diverse experiences, and thus providing the opportunity for improving diversity, equity, and inclusion in the field. It contrasts qualitative with quantitative methods and addresses the concept of epistemic violence. Emphasizing community-based, emancipatory approaches, it urges adopting humanizing and liberatory research frameworks that challenge traditional research methods, underscoring qualitative research's role in fostering equity, empathy, and deeper understanding within the field.
