Feminist Research in Practice is a supplementary text for undergraduate and graduate research methods courses. The book opens with a detailed examination of feminist methodologies and sociological research methods, followed by twelve chapters offering an in-depth analysis of six research projects. Invited scholars have each contributed two paired chapters: the first is data-driven and includes a description of methods and findings as well as analysis, allowing contributors to highlight their application of feminist methods and approaches in their work. In the second of each pair, contributors offer a close reflection on the research process, including obstacles and the emergence of new inquiries, allowing readers to deepen their own understanding of feminist research as it is practiced. The projects themselves are diverse in focus and approach with both large and small research teams working in varied communities and using an assortment of methods. Feminist Research in Practice closes with an extensive bibliography of recent and established research literature for further consideration.
Feminist Research in Practice by Kelly, Gurr and their contributing authors is a quality contribution to the literature on feminist research. Its creative approach toward both explaining the essential elements of feminist methodologies as well as demonstrating them, in practice, would be an interesting read for all and an asset to any graduate or undergraduate social work or social science research methods classroom. * Affilia: Feminist Inquiry in Social Work *
This new feminist sociology text represents an important contribution to the body of contemporary feminist literature. The chapters demonstrate the reflexive practice at the heart of this book’s ethos, and its diversity is practiced as well as critically analyzed. Their focus on methods will be a welcome resource for students and teachers in higher education who seek critical, intersectional, and up-to-the-minute approaches grounded in contemporary events and thinking. -- Anne M. Harris, Principal Research Fellow, RMIT University
An innovative and engaging text on feminist methodologies.

Through this book students can gain crucial insights into what goes into creating empirical research that is systematic, rigorous, and undeniably feminist. -- Miriam J. Abelson, Portland State University
