Preferred term

feminist critiques of educational research  

Definition

  • In many ways, feminist critiques of educational research embody feminist critiques of social science research developed during the women's movement of the 1960s and 1970s. A central idea is that much of what passes as “objective” scientific research can be categorized as “subjective” in the sense that it is patriarchal, androcentric, and ignores the experiences of people of color and/or the working class.
