Course Description

This course offers an overview of classic and contemporary examples of feminist ethnography. Over

the course of the semester, we will trace the development of, and debates around, feminist

ethnography from the 1970s to the contemporary period, highlighting the key questions and

dominant paradigms of the field. We will examine how feminist approaches shape the questions we

ask, how we present our research and the ethics of research. We will explore how to incorporate

collaborative and activist methods and analysis in our scholarly projects, asking: How can feminist

ethnography intensify efforts towards social justice in the current political and economic climate?

How do feminist ethnographers link their findings to broader publics through activism, advocacy, and

public policy?
