Class description
This course is intended to help you understand varied methodological approaches in Feminist Studies, consider their application, and develop your own articulation of feminist research principles. In the first unit, we will explore interdisciplinary debates in feminist methodological studies, concerned with issues including positionality, colonialism, androcentrism, power, reciprocity, representation, and collaboration. The second unit will closely examine texts that centralize methodological concerns and strategies in relation to specific research and activist projects. Throughout the course you will develop a feminist methodological approach with regards to your own discipline and research projects and articulate the interconnections among theory, method, and application.
