Area Of Science
- Feminist Ethnography
- Qualitative Research Methods
Background
- Challenging social, personal, environmental, and temporal conditions necessitate innovative research approaches.
- Existing ethnographic methods may not fully capture the complexities of lived experiences under pressure.
Purpose Of The Study
- To discuss creative feminist approaches to ethnographic methods.
- To explore how ethnographic methods can be adapted to acknowledge and incorporate 'mundane pressures' and 'edges' of research.
- To envision feminist futures for ethnography.
Main Methods
- Inspired by Patchwork Ethnography, this study adopts a creative approach to conversation.
- Valuing fragments, edges, and intersections of collective thinking, research, and experiences.
- Stitching together diverse insights into a cohesive, 'patchworked' piece.
Main Results
- Patchwork Ethnography recognizes and utilizes insights from the periphery of research.
- Rendering the 'seams' of research visible enhances its robustness and generosity.
- A creative, fragmented, and intersectional approach to ethnographic data is demonstrated.
Conclusions
- Creative feminist ethnographic methods can foster new and different research futures.
- Embracing fragments and 'edges' leads to more inclusive and robust ethnographic realities.
- This approach contributes to developing feminist futures for ethnography.

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...
Data collection is a systematic method of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. An experimental study is a standard method of data collection that involves the manipulation of the samples by applying some form of treatment prior to data collection. It refers to manipulating one variable to determine its changes on another variable. The sample subjected to treatment is known as “experimental units.”
An example of the experimental method is a public...
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.
The Process of Scientific Research
Scientific knowledge is advanced through a process known as the scientific method. Basically, ideas (in the form of theories and hypotheses) are tested...
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...
There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
In 2011, the New York Times published a feature story on Krista and Tatiana Hogan, Canadian twin girls. These particular twins are unique because Krista and Tatiana are conjoined twins, connected at the head. There is evidence that the two girls are connected in a part of the brain called the thalamus, which is a...
An experimental design is a systematic process that allows researchers to evaluate the relationship between dependent and independent variables. There are three widely used types of experimental design - pre-experimental design, true experimental design, and quasi-experimental design. In pre-experimental design, the researcher compares the data before and after some interventions or treatments. The true-experimental design has more than one purposefully created group, a commonly measured...
