Gender Issues in Field Research by Carol A B Warren
Gender is a focal organizing category in social life and social science; it is therefore essential that field researchers develop a sensitivity to issues of gender and understand the place of gender both when carrying out fieldwork and when producing ethnographic reports. Gender Issues in Field Research summarizes the state of the art of gender issues in fieldwork both in anthropology and sociology. Warren shows how the researcher′s gender affects both the fieldwork relationships and the production of ethnography.
Professor Warren (Ph.D. California, San Diego) is interested in social control, law and psychiatry, gender, and interpretive methods. Her current book is Pushbutton Psychiatry: A History of Electroconvulsive Therapy in America (with Timothy Kneeland, Greenwood Press, 2002). She is the author of Gender Issues in Ethnography (with Jennifer Hackney, Sage, 2000), Madwives: Schizophrenic Women in the 1950s (1987), and The Court of Last Resort: Mental Illness and the Law (1982). Areas: Gender, Medical and Legal Systems.
