The supplemented edition of this important reader includes a
substantive new introduction by the author on the changing nature
of feminist methodology. It takes into account the implications of
a major new study included for this first time in this book on
poverty and gender (in)equality, and it includes an article
discussing the ways in which this study was conducted using the
research methods put forward by the first edition. This article
begins by explaining why a new and better poverty metric is needed
and why developing such a metric requires an alternative
methodological approach inspired by feminism. Feminist research is
a growing tradition of inquiry that aims to produce knowledge not
biased by inequitable assumptions about gender and related
categories such as class, race, religion, sexuality, and
nationality."Just Methods" is designed for upper-level
undergraduate and graduate students in a range of disciplines.
Rather than being concerned with particular techniques of inquiry,
the interdisciplinary readings in this book address broad questions
of research methodology. They are designed to help researchers
think critically and constructively about the epistemological and
ethical implications of various approaches to research selection
and research design, evidence-gathering techniques, and publication
of results.A key theme running through the readings is the complex
interrelationship between social power and inequality on the one
hand and the production of knowledge on the other. A second and
related theme is the inseparability of research projects and
methodologies from ethical and political values."
