Fucking geographers! Or the epistemological consequences of neglecting the lusty researcher’s body

Fucking law (a new methodological movement)

“…The challenge is whether and indeed how to solidify the movement that is fucking law into a concrete research agenda. I certainly do not make a claim that every researcher must account for their own erotic subjectivities -indeed my own experience is perhaps a case for not doing so, and is why female researchers find themselves vulnerable, and reticent to justify their own desires (De Craene, 2017). As a pointer, as to when, and how to find points of occupation, I return to fucking itself.…”

“…This brings me to ask, why are there so few of us here? De Craene (2017) in relation to sexual geography fieldwork, has suggested that this may be because of a certain 'discomfort' associated with the complexities of being a woman researcher. I claim that this 'discomfort' is at the core of why radical, fluid, sensitive and provocative methods are required in this field, which probe at, and seek the origins and academic consequences of this 'discomfort'.…”

It’s time to address sexual violence in academic global health

“…Confident listening spaces should exist, both before and during fieldwork, to discuss and suggest possible solutions. The scientific literature on challenges facing young women doing research in a male-dominated field should be mobilised for training purposes 16 18 29 37 38. It is also important to make available in the field mentors trained in harassment management to support anyone (women and men) involved in these situations and help them find appropriate solutions, or at least talk about them.…”

Gendered by Design: The Socialization of Women in Engineering School

“…Because of this, I could be more likely to find the answers I was looking for, or more accurately, interpret responses in a way that confirms my biased expectations. Practicing reflexivity in my research, again, helped me to avoid gross misinterpretation or misrepresentation; I continually analyzed my own interpretations in order to maintain my awareness of my relationship to my study (Craene, 2017).…”
