Reviews
This new feminist sociology text represents an important contribution to the body of contemporary feminist literature. The chapters demonstrate the reflexive practice at the heart of this book's ethos, and its diversity is practiced as well as critically analyzed. Their focus on methods will be a welcome resource for students and teachers in higher education who seek critical, intersectional, and up-to-the-minute approaches grounded in contemporary events and thinking. -- Anne M. Harris, Principal Research Fellow, RMIT University
An innovative and engaging text on feminist methodologies. Pairing empirical and reflective chapters from sociologists grappling with putting feminist principles into action in their research, Feminist Research in Practice is a perfect addition to undergraduate and graduate courses in sociological methods as well as gender. Through this book students can gain crucial insights into what goes into creating empirical research that is systematic, rigorous, and undeniably feminist. -- Miriam J. Abelson, Portland State University
