Feminist Qualitative Research
volume 28 numbers 1 and 2

This issue takes up some of the common interests and concerns of feminist researchers across academic disciplines. Contributions offer interdisciplinary glimpses of feminist qualitative research, showing the range of contexts to which we have turned our gaze as feminists, as well as our engagement in public debates of social issues. The articles in this collection mark progress in interdisciplinary thinking about qualitative research that both contrast "how-to" guides and extend the debates in more recent feminist ethnographic literature. They challenge the notion that there is one "best" or "right" way to conduct qualitative research, or that it is a simple process. Rather, the values and constraints of research methods chosen and the intricacies of the production of feminist knowledge in the world are explored. For example, writers take exception to academic practices that rank some methodological approaches over others.
