In this volume, 15 feminist scholars from five continents, who
participated in the 1998 conference co-sponsored by Research
Committee 32, Women in Society, of the International Sociological
Association (WISISA) and the Centre for Research and Teaching on
Women at McGill University, consider, critique and construct
theories of society. Their papers examine four inter-related
themes: an explicit or implicit acknowledgment and critique of the
European Enlightenment as a basis for the modern production of
knowledge; the use and utility of "gender" as a concept; problems
and solutions in feminist theories of development; and the place of
feminism in the production of knowledge and on-the-ground change.
Each paper reflects the author's experience as a researcher,
theorist or change agent, as well as the discussion and dialogue of
the five-day conference.
