Abstract | This session aims to interrogate attitudes within academia towards feminist scholarship and the advantages and perceived disadvantages which this type of methodological approach may entail. Bringing together a range of academics, both seasoned and postgraduate, from a range of different backgrounds and experiences, it will unpick the problems associated with feminist scholarship in our discursively 'postfeminist' times. It will also facilitate a comparative approach to where we think the future of feminist scholarship lies. |
