Produktbeschreibung

Feminist Methodology is an accessible and timely book which demonstrates how feminist approaches to methodology engage with debates in western philosophy to raise critical questions about knowledge production.

The text:

{ shows that feminist methodology has a distinctive place in social research

{ guides the reader through the terrain of feminist methodology, disentangling confusion and clarifying how feminists can claim knowledge of gendered social existence

{ connects abstract issues of theory with practical issues of fieldwork.
