This class begins with an overview of quantitative and qualitative methods of research, assessing their costs and benefits. It then explores the interdisciplinary methods used in gender and women’s studies, including queer, postcolonial, ecocritical, and critical race methods. Students will gain an understanding of feminist research methods, including the importance of critical, community, and activist oriented approaches. Students will hone their skills to be critical readers of research in academia, media, and policy.
