Join us for a two-day exploration of feminist research methods!
This workshop is for everyone with an interest in the practice, processes, and potential of feminist research methods. Feminist Research Methods is a participatory and interdisciplinary workshop introducing postgraduate researchers to advanced issues in feminist research methods, offering inspiration, space for critical reflection and practical toolkits for your own research methodology.
In this workshop, participants can expect to encounter hands-on learning about researcher positionality, the politics of feminist knowledge, intersectionality, decoloniality, power relationships, participatory methods, feminist writing, queer sharing and creative methods conducted with collaborators. This workshop is for everyone who is open and eager to explore how to do feminist research!
You will learn from an interdisciplinary team of feminist researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh, Stirling, Strathclyde and Queen Margaret University. You will encounter practical workshop activities grounded in real-world feminist research projects, within and beyond the university. You will have the opportunity to explore questions of sharing and representing feminist research, including in activist collaborations and creative practice.
We have convened this workshop based on the success and experiences of the past four years.
Here’s what some of our workshop participants have noted over the years:
‘To future workshop attendees, I thought there would be several segments of this intensive workshop programme that would not be applicable or interesting to me. I was so surprised to find that every session was interesting, useful and inspiring.’
‘Attending the Feminist Research Methods workshops during the first year of my PhD has been transformative for my PhD and has fundamentally shaped how I approached my research design.’
‘It was the first time I have ever been taught by Black and Asian scholars, and about intersectional and decolonial perspectives. How have I made it to a PhD without having this, I have no idea, but what a pleasure it was.’
If you want an introduction on doing feminist research and want to know more about the range of methods and approaches you might employ, come and attend Feminist Research Methods.
Dates and time: This is a two day event that will take place on 29 and 30 April from 9.30am-4.30pm each day.
