Accessible yet intellectually challenging, it encourages readers to take on, think about, and do feminist research in geography and offers practical suggestions for going about it. <br /> <p>The text comprises original contributions from feminist geographers around the world who address all aspects of the research process from choosing a topic and designing a project, through to conducting interviews, doing cross-cultural ethnographic research and analysing data. The varied backgrounds of the contributors illustrate the powerful impact feminist geographers are having on research, both in geography and in feminism. The book also features substantial pedagogical material, developed with students in the classroom, and including discussion questions, group project initiatives, research project topics, and suggestions for practical research activities.<br /> </p> <p>To join the <i>Feminist Geography in Practice</i> discussion list simply send the message sub FGIP to listserv@uvvm.uvic.ca</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Feminist Geography in Practice offers a fast-paced field guide to feminist research in Geography....
