Queer Feminist Issues in Methodologies (SoSe 2022)

What are the methodological implications of queer feminist theory in our research practice? What does it mean for research to be considered ‘queer’ or ‘feminist’? This course provides students with a practical exploration of turns, critiques, and approaches that queer and feminist literature has posed to social science research over the years. We will examine a range of subjects, such as anti- and inter-disciplinarity, queer of color critique, queer decoloniality, trans*feminism, Black queer studies, and intersectionality. After covering these essential topics, we will focus on the social and political conundrums surrounding ethnographic research and discuss the contemporary issues in the field.
