What does a 'feminist perspective' allow in research? How do we understand the relationship between 'gender research' and 'feminist research'? How do we know research to be feminist, queer and/or postcolonial? What questions does that raise for our work?

This session for LSE Gender MSc Students aims to explore the possibilities and tensions inherent to gender/feminist research. The discussion will be led by first-year PhD students who will reflect on these questions by presenting their project's engagement(s) with feminist theory, epistemology and/or methodology. We hope that everyone in the room will be an active participant in the discussion that follows; for what is at stake in these questions is something that affects us all as LSE Gender students and thinking through what it means to say we are working with(in) gender studies.

From time to time there are changes to event details so we strongly recommend checking back on this listing on the day of the event if you plan to attend.
