‘Claims and Disclaimers: Knowledge, Reflexivity and Representation in Feminist Research’

Gayle Letherby

Sociological Research Online, 2002, vol. 6, issue 4, 81-93

Abstract: In this article I consider issues of knowledge, reflexivity and representation in feminist research. Using my feminist sociological doctoral research as an example I add to debate by feminist researchers and others concerned with epistemological authority. After setting the research scene and outlining what I feel I did and did not achieve both substantively and epistemologically I consider some of the contradictions and tensions in feminist research through a consideration of reflexivity and representation. Throughout I consider issues of auto/biography.
