Feminist research methodology: Making meanings of meaning-making
(Routledge, 2010) Wickremasinghe, Maithree
Mentioning the word ‘methodology’ in conversation often elicits passive disinterest at the least, and vocal disdain at the most. For those practising development, the term can conjure up images of flow charts, log frames and data sets, while for those in academia, dry lectures on regression analysis may come to mind. Despite the consideration given to the subject of methodology in various fields, however, very little has been written linking feminist methodologies to development practice (one exception being Volume 15, Issue 2 of this journal, to which the author of this review contributed), and there is an even greater gap in such literature published from the perspective of feminist researchers working in the global South, although there is likely much work published locally that has escaped the attention of Northern audiences. Sri Lankan academic and self-described feminist researcher, Maithree Wickramasinghe, sets out to address these gaps in her book, Feminist Methodology: Making Meanings of Meaning-making, published by Routledge as the second book in its Research on Gender in Asia series.
