Corridor Talk contains contributions from feminist scholars from
across Canada from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds. When the
anthropologist Paul Rainbow coined the term, 'corridor talk, ' he
used it to refer to information that was relegated to side chats
with colleagues, information that was not to be included in field
notes, manuscripts or journal articles. These were the unimportant
details or 'gossip' concerning a person's research, although he
noted that a person's reputation often hinged on such discussions.
Most feminist scholars, like many working within the realm of
qualitative methodology, have for many years, rejected this
discourse of 'unimportant details' and have chosen instead to
document experiences and struggles during the research process as a
way of exploring such issues as: whose interests are served by the
research, what is the purpose(s) of the research, what are the
goals of the research? In this book, graduate students, sessionals,
independent scholars, community members, as well as established
scholars, have an opportunity to share their experiences with the
reader about doing feminist research, including the pitfalls, the
benefit of hindsight, the 'what ifs' and the 'ah ha' moments. By
sharing stories about the emotional struggles and methodological
dilemmas that occur in the process of doing feminist research, the
authors provide researchers, both seasoned and new, an invaluable
inside look at conducting feminist research.
