ABSTRACT
Feminist theorizing proposes alternative processes of narration. IR feminists do not just ask, ‘‘Where are the women?’’ but also question the idea that it would be possible to ‘‘add women and stir.’’ Instead, they interrogate the way gender, among other markers such as race, nation, or religion, shapes conceptions of our world. Feminists inhabit a discipline; they work through and beyond it and incrementally but radically, (re)think it critically (cf. Colebrook and Buchanan 2000). In the process, they disturb the foundational narratives of IR as well as of modernity and modern science. Through their explorations of various disciplines, feminists have come to note that it is necessary to not only challenge the content but also the processes of knowledge production.
