Critical and feminist methodologies

We will use this group to communicate and share information.

This course covers critical and feminist approaches to research and epistemology. We begin by asking what makes research feminist and ethical (or not), how to apply theoretical concerns to field research, and what a feminist citation practice is. As scholars of Women and Gender Studies, we much to offer Wikipedia, both by filling information gaps and by engaging in debates about what constitutes a ‘neutral point of view’ (NPOV). Students will gain experience doing literature reviews, identifying plagiarism, conducting collaborative work, and creating new media content.
