feminist epistemology

feminist epistemology (and feminist methodology)

feminist theories of knowledge which suggest that traditional EPISTEMOLOGY has understated the importance of areas of knowledge that have been uppermost in feminine experience and in womens lives. According to Coward and Ellis (1977), traditional epistemological theory has been either too empiricist or too rationalist. In the view of Stanley and Wise (1983) and Hilary Rose (1986), feminist research methods (feminist methodology) and a truly feminist epistemology must reflect womens lived experience and place greater emphasis on affectual rationalities.

The novel (and Feinberg insisted it was one, although drawn from memory and community memory) also represents so much of why I do what I do--I wasn't very much interested in women's studies until it was challenged by queer theory, Marxist theories, post colonialism, critical race theory, and black feminist epistemology. Patricia Hill Collins's Black Feminist Thought (1990) was my other top choice.

'Standpoint Theory' (Harding, 2012) and 'Situated Knowledge' (Haraway, 1988) were crucial developments in feminist epistemology. They drew our attention to the material specificities of women's everyday lives making more concrete the nature of women's oppression and possibility for survival and transformation from within these everyday contexts (Code, 2007).
Feminist care ethics, becoming area
As regards feminist epistemology, the gender issue factors in as a key ontological aspect, especially in terms of identifying the knower, the experiential aspects of knowing, and granting the idea that universal knowing cannot be achieved except perhaps via "perception at a distance" (Code 1993; Harding 1986, 1991).
