Exploring the breadth of contemporary feminist research practices, this
engaging text immerses the reader in cutting-edge theories, methods, and
practical strategies. Chapters review theoretical work and describe
approaches to conducting quantitative, qualitative, and community-based
research with participants; doing content or media analysis; and
evaluating programs or interventions. Ethical issues are addressed and
innovative uses of digital media highlighted. The focus is studying
gender inequities as they are experienced by individuals and groups from
diverse cultural, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds, and with
diverse gender identities. Delving into the process of writing and
publishing feminist research, the text covers timely topics such as
public scholarship, activism, and arts-based practices. The companion
website features interviews with prominent feminist researchers.
