Feminist Research: Methodology & Ethics

After an initial introduction to Feminist  International Relations/ Feminist Security Studies at our first seminar meeting, today we focused on what distinguishes feminist research in International Politics (and beyond), paying particular attention to feminist research ethics. Students read materials from the  following books:

• Ackerly, B. & True. J. (2010)  Doing Feminist Research in Political and Social Science. Palgrave Macmillan.
• Ackerly, B., Stern, M. & True. J. (2006) Feminist Methodologies for International Relations. Cambridge University Press.
• Wibben, A.T.R. (2011) Feminist Security Studies: A Narrative Approach. London: Routledge

... and, in groups, discussed different feminist research reports featured in Ackerly, Stern & True (2006). Summaries of the latter will be posted by the students themselves.
