At the Center reflects on how the study of gender has changed and
how studying gender has affected our research methods and our
knowledge of the world around us. In honor of Bell Hooks' prophetic
work, Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center, the volume considers
how advances in gender research represent a centering of feminist
knowledge and an understanding of the process by which feminist
knowledge is constructed. A multinational group of contributors
explore relatively new problems such as the integration of
transgender study, traditional topics in so far as they incorporate
current knowledge and methodological issues pertaining to the
effects of research on the researcher and the researched as well as
other epistemological matters associated with the construction of
gender knowledge. Chapters reflect the strength of a range of
qualitative methods including life histories and auto-ethnography
and explore the ways that large sample quantitative analyses can
enhance understanding of everyday dilemmas. The interdisciplinary
nature of gender studies and the cross-pollination of theoretical
perspectives are illustrated as is the globalization of gender
theory, research and policies.
