ABSTRACT
We have seen that feminist research is defined by its commitment to producing knowledge likely to be useful in opposing the many varieties of gender injustice. It seeks to create knowledge that is not infected by gender and related biases and so does not lend itself to rationalizing the subordination of women and others subjected to oppressive constructions of masculinities and femininities. Feminist research should not only be unbiased but also be guided by feminist ethical principles, which should inform the selection and design of research programs, strategies for gathering and interpreting evidence, and decisions for publishing or otherwise acting on the results. This chapter identifies a few of the dilemmas faced by researchers who seek to apply their feminist ethical commitments in the practice of their research.
