Standpoints and Differences: Essays in the Practice of Feminist Psychology

0.0

Standpoints and Differences investigates a key area of theoretical interest within contemporary feminist and poststructuralist theory, paying particular attention to feminist psychology. Recognizing that feminist researchers have a long-standing commitment to conducting research from feminist standpoints, the contributors consider the tensions between this and the poststructuralist argument that research and emancipatory politics can flow from personal and political differences. In this arena, both the potentials of, and resistance to, some aspects of the feminist//poststructuralist axis have become increasingly important in defining the parameters of contemporary debate.The volume considers questions and developments on `giving voice', and explores arguments and theoretical positions concerning power and subjectivity, paying attention to how these inform research practice.Standpoints and Differences will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars in feminist psychology, social psychology, gender studies, epistemology and methodology.
