Researching Gender Violence: Feminist Methodology in Action

In this book leading authors in the field draw on their experience to address key methodological questions and challenges that have arisen from the recent proliferation of research projects and government-funded initiatives on violence against women. In doing so they provide important insights into, and critical approaches to, the evidence base for policy and practice as well as more theoretical issues. Topics include: evaluation research and feminist methodology; using quantitative and qualitative approaches; ethics and access in sensitive research; interviewing practitioners, perpetrators, policy makers and survivors; utilizing discourse analysis to interpret data; undertaking cross national and comparative research; gearing research to facilitate positive change in policy and practice; and using the media for dissemination.
