'Doing Feminist Research' Workshop, Spring into Methods 2022

Facebook Twitter

'Doing Feminist Research' was a workshop organised by University of Edinburgh's genderED and the Strathclyde University Feminist Research Network in May 2022.

It was part of the wider Spring into Methods series funded by the Scottish Graduate School of Social Science (SGSSS) and the Scottish Graduate School of Arts and Humanities (SGSAH). DOING FEMINIST RESEARCH workshop programme. Upcoming Event – Doing Feminist Research: SGSSS-SGSAH-funded Spring Into Methods Workshop – genderED. Reflections: ‘What does feminist research mean to you?’ – genderED.

“What does feminist research mean to you?” This was the contemplation posed to us by Dr Radhika Govinda and Professor Yvette Taylor who were introducing the SGSSS-SGSAH funded ‘doing feminist research’ workshop. While I sat there tapping my pen in thought, I was secretly overwhelmed by my surroundings. After being absent from a physical classroom for nearly two years, it was rather intimidating meeting my peers for the first time in person, not to mention having the time and attention of the incredible scholars who were also present.

The workshop, based at the University of Edinburgh, was a 3 day exploration of feminist epistemological, ontological and methodological considerations and complexities, attended by an inspiring cohort of PhD students based in mostly Edinburgh and Glasgow. I was blown away by everyone’s introductions and insights into their research projects. To be in a room with feminists and those who had interest in feminist research was so encouraging. “Doing Feminist Research” – Spring into Methods Workshop 2022 – genderED.
