Grounded in a need to change both society and the discipline, feminist sociology challenges the foundations of traditional social science and articulates new ways of creating knowledge, doing research, and understanding the role of researchers and the people they study. Drawing on concepts such as positionality and reflexivity and emphasizing the importance of feminist ethics, emotions, activism, and transformation, this concise book traces out what it means to engage in feminist sociology and to claim the identity of a feminist sociologist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: The Revolution of Feminist Sociology\u003cbr\u003e1 The Foundation of Feminist Sociology: Whose Knowledge?\u003cbr\u003e2 Feminist Sociology is Positional, Reflexive, and Emotional\u003cbr\u003e3 Feminist Sociology is Ethical\u003cbr\u003e4 Feminist Sociology is Activist, Political, and Transformative\u003cbr\u003e5 The Continued Revolution of Feminist Sociology\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Brief Glossary\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441812599064,"sku":"9781509555611","price":39.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509555611.jpg?v=1785026643","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/what-is-feminist-sociology-hardback-9781509555611","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
