Document Summary
Psci2701b - class 12 - dec 3 2013. Framework she uses is the discussion on methodology. Methods: ways/tools that we use to gather evidence. Doesn"t make much sense to have feminists methods just tools. Methodology: theory and analysis of how research should proceed. Many feminist researchers argue that traditional research methodology makes it difficult for us to understand how women have been involved in processes. Epistemology: what counts as knowledge, who can be a knower, is it subjective. Conclusion is usually in many societies the role of women in research has been downplayed or problematic for a long part of the 20th century. Discussion on methods doesn"t matter for harding; discussion of contribution only matters for methodology and epistemology. Bad science = researchers not considering all aspects of the research. Lack of success in programs after wwii was because the whole picture was not understood measures were used to systematically exclude women"s roles in those countries.
