RES 7230 - Feminist and Intersectional Research Methodologies (3)

When Offered: On Demand
Students will learn feminist epistemologies, methodologies, and fieldwork methods as they are applied to educational research. Students will study how feminist scholars challenge dominant theories of knowledge and use gender, power, and discourse as analytic categories for research. Students will explore the ethics of representation, the use of experience, and questions of accountability. In this process, student participation in shaping class discussion will be vital to the goal of understanding how feminist debates take shape within and across disciplines. Other related topics include Black and Chicana feminist thought, queer studies, subaltern studies, poststructural theory, and disability theory as related to feminist modes of inquiry.
