Formed from slow critical dialogue and intellectual love, The Critical Methodology Collective offer us a profound gift. Not so much prescriptive guidance but rather the keen attentiveness, close description and patient vulnerability that comes from years of close examination of nine feminist research projects. An extraordinary read, an extraordinary feat. -- Yasmin Gunaratnam, Sociology Department, Goldsmiths College, UK
This pathbreaking book is a must read for scholars and activists, PhD students, professors and NGO researchers. It challenges assumptions, demanding we reflect on power, privilege and political practice in research relationships. You will think and do research differently after reading it. -- Bridget Anderson, Professor of Migration, Mobilities and Citizenship, University of Bristol, UK
This book stands out in form and content. It is written by a collective of young feminist researchers, and addresses questions central to the social sciences. Sharing a sense of discomfort, the authors raise important - and often ignored - ethical issues in qualitative research. It is a book that all serious scholars should read. -- Johanna Esseveld, Professor Emerita, Department of Sociology, Lund University, Sweden
