Finns det feministiska metoder inom samhällsvetenskaplig forskning?

Abstract

Washington University in St. Louis. Overthe last several decades, feminist scholars have become increasingly more reflective with regard to the research process. Addressing the issue of what makes a particular piece of research specifically 'feminist,' they find that it includes incorporating gender, privileging subjectivity, avoiding exploitation, and empowering women. From these characteristics, they conclude that there are no feminist research methods, but that there is one feminist methodology. In this artide, Krook argues that this position does not capture the broader contributions of feminist research, which indicate that there are not only feminist methods, but also multiple feminist methodologies. She outlines these methods and methodologies and then calls on future research to expand these approaches in order to produce.
