Description

An interdisciplinary collection of critical, feminist reflections on interpersonal gender violence
Despite the growing interest in the subject of gender violence, surprisingly little has been written in recent years about the methodology behind this emerging field of research. This interdisciplinary collection seeks to fill this gap by empowering scholars to conduct gender violence research in ways that deconstruct rather than reinforce existing power structures and hierarchies.
The book argues for new approaches to research and activism on gender-based violence grounded in the intersectional realities of individuals and communities. Each chapter discusses the role of reflective methodologies to recognize institutional and intersectional inequalities, challenging the reader to contemplate ethical considerations of an embodied feminist methodology when researching gender-based violence. By centering these issues for applied scholars, practitioners, and academic activists, the book offers insights about where sociocultural notions of criminality and innocence might align across geographies of gender-based violence.
The volume encourages further thinking about embodied methodological creativity in and for the future of interpersonal gender-based violence research. A powerful tool for conducting productive scholarship, Researching Gender-Based Violence provides recommendations for interrogating, practicing, and collaborating across fields, disciplines, and lived realities.

Reviews
"Offers a necessary opportunity for scholars of gender-based violence to reconsider established forms of methodology as well as effective resources for reform. This is a vastly important book." -- Claire Renzetti, Judi Conway Patton Endowed Chair for Studies of Violence Against Women, University of Kentucky
"The contributors to this volume deftly illustrate how academia can engage in careful research to build an anti-racist, de-colonized, and intersectional methodology. They have built a text that is relevant far beyond the study of gender-based violence." -- Laura McClusky, Wells College
"The authors have encouraged me to pause and engage with embodied listening not only regarding how I show up in this work and am impacted by it, but also in my collaborations and partnerships with victim-survivors, students, researchers, and other activists. Even though the book is focused on methodology, with a leaning towards ethnography, I highly recommend this text to any individual actively engaged and entangled in gender-based violence work." * Affilia: Feminist Inquiry in Social Work *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
