Women, Gender, & Sexuality Std - Doing Feminist Research

Catalog description

How is feminist research more than research that just focuses on women? What does it mean to do research in a feminist way? This course explores feminist critiques of conventional research methods and asks how we can build knowledge that is more just, collaborative, and politically engaged. Students practice basic skills in qualitative research like interviewing and archival analysis, and they learn how to design their own research project using these methods. Suggested for the junior year. Prerequisite: Junior or Senior standing and at least two previous courses in WGSS, or by permission of the department.
