Description

Doing Feminist Urban Research introduces the reader to the newly emerging 21st century global landscape of feminist urban research. It showcases decolonising practices, partnerships and teamwork, new standards such as EDI, geo-ethnographic methodologies, software-enhanced qualitative data analysis, and knowledge mobilisation. This book delves into both the institutional and lived reality of the practice of feminist urban research via the insights of a transnational research project (GenUrb). Through reflection exercises based on real life examples, it covers research techniques and feminist methodologies, using NVivo, and knowledge mobilization, including utilizing social media, in the time of the Sustainable Development Goals. It guides readers through navigating the politics of decolonizing research, working across differences, and embracing feminist ethics and activism. The book also explores practices such as translation, professional standards of data management and EDI, collaboration with partners, engaging in teamwork, critically examining the 'field' through comparison and feminist geo-ethnographies, and handling crises, including pandemics. Accompanying web resources will assist scholars and students, with additional audio files and documents. This book’s practical guidance will help those starting to contemplate and engage in qualitative feminist urban research as well as those teaching the practice and politics of research. It will appeal to and practitioners in urban studies, geography, gender and women’s studies, sociology, anthropology, global studies, and development studies.
