This course investigates theories and practices of feminist inquiry across a range of disciplines. Doing feminist research involves rethinking disciplinary assumptions and methodologies, developing new understandings of what counts as knowledge, seeking alternative ways of understanding the origins of problems/issues, formulating new ways of positing questions and redefining the relationship between subjects and objects of study.We shall be especially attentive to epistemological issues -- pre-suppositions about the nature of knowledge. Renee Bergland & Frinde Maher.
