WOMS 605 - Feminist Praxis

This course provides an overview of feminist research methodology providing both a philosophical analysis of feminist research and practical training in methodological approaches. The course texts will address the relationship between knowledge production, the authors producing it, and the knowledge being produced. Students will consider what counts as evidence in different disciplines, feminist epistemological challenges, research ethics, the role of social position in knowledge production, and ethical and political issues and dilemmas for feminist researchers. Students will also get direct training in formulating research questions, selecting methods for answering research questions, and justifying their methodological choices.
