ABSTRACT

Reflecting on Research Practice Chapter 14 consists of a single long essay written especially for this edition of Just Methods. The essay reflects critically on the methodology of one large-scale feminist research project,  which is drawing to completion as the book goes to press. The authors are both philosophers on the investigative team, which also includes scholars from the disciplines of anthropology, sociology, and economics. The essay describes the feminist methodological approach that guided the project and shows how, in the authors’ view, the use of more just methods enabled the production of more trustworthy and more ethically defensible research findings. However, feminist methodology is always a work in progress and the methods of even this project are not beyond criticism.
