How can researchers produce work with relevance to theoretical and
formal traditions and requirements of public academic knowledge
while still remaining faithful to the experiences and accounts of
research participants based in private settings? Feminist Dilemmas
in Qualitative Research explores this key dilemma and examines the
interplay between theory, epistemology and the detailed practice of
research. It does this across the whole research process: access,
data collection and analysis and writing up research. It goes on to
consider ways of achieving high standards of reflexivity and
openness in the strategic choices made during research, examining
these issues for specific projects in an open and accessible style.
Particular themes examined are: the research dilemmas that occur
from feminist perspectives in relation to researching private and
personal social worlds; the position of the researcher as situated
between public knowledge and private experience; and the dilemmas
raised for researchers seeking to contribute to academic discourse
while remaing close to their knowledge forms.
