the short description:

This seminar investigates the principles, ethics, and practices that constitute a range of methods used to conduct feminist research. The course has several aims. Throughout, we shall examine the conceptual, epistemological, and political underpinnings of different feminist methods. Emphasis will be placed on distinguishing feminist research methods, that is, those committed to examining and potentially transforming social inequalities that oppress women and other subordinate groups from those methods and epistemologies committed (whether explicitly or implicitly) to maintaining the status quo. The course will expose you a range of perspectives within feminist critiques of science and social science as well as a number of potential ways of designing feminist research in order to suit particular kinds of research problems, questions, and projects.
