“…The theory posits that disempowered individuals have a double consciousness-they see the world from their own perspective as well as that of their oppressor (Swigonski, 1994). Several scholars have outlined characteristics that define the feminist standpoint (Harding, 2004(Harding, , 2009Hartstock, 2014;Swigonski, 1994). First, a standpoint is formed through scientific inquiry involving struggles of a subordinated group and highlighting a specific and socially situated knowledge that cannot come from the oppressor (Harding, 2009(Harding, , 2012Hartstock, 2014).…”

“…The standpoint is formed through tension generated by social and political power, uncovering decentered knowledge (Harding, 2012). Localized knowledge exposes bias of the dominant viewpoint and challenges commonly accepted perceptions (Harding, 2012;Hartstock, 2014). Using a standpoint perspective that focuses on the everyday lives of people who have traditionally been marginalized, researchers strive for a more complete knowledge (Swigonski, 1994).…”

Why Sexual Assault Survivors Do Not Report to Universities: A Feminist Analysis

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The present study analyzed responses from 220 female survivors of sexual assault at a U.S. college campus. Guided by feminist thought, we used thematic analysis to analyze survivors' reasons for not reporting their sexual assault to university officials. Drawing on participants' own words, the most common reasons for not reporting included “It was not a big enough deal,” “I didn't know who to report to or that I could report,” “It wasn't related to the university,” “I was afraid,” “Because I was drunk,” “Too ashamed to report,” “I didn't want to get him in trouble,” and “Felt as if I would be blamed for putting myself in the situation.” We conducted a series of binary logistic regressions to determine which demographic and experiential variables were associated with the thematic reason(s) for not reporting. In the spirit of feminist praxis, we offer implications for universities to remove barriers for reporting sexual violence.

“…Twigger-Ross and Uzell (1996, p. 207) stated that "Maintenance of a link with a place provides a sense of continuity to a person's identity." Women and men may have different characteristics in terms of place identity as they grow up with different boundary experiences (Hartsock, 1983).…”

This study is focused on place meaning, sense of belonging, and personalization of place among Turkish university students staying in on‐campus housing. Thirty‐three participants from a private university in Turkey were interviewed about their family homes, residence halls, and their favorite nonresidential settings. The results include what type of personal, social, and place attributes impacted the meanings and feelings the students associated with those settings, how and why they personalized those settings, the role of meaningful objects on place meaning, and gender differences regarding perception of place attributes.

“…While incorporating perspectives from the Global South is, in itself, important to the project of radical openness, I also do it because many of the strongest critiques and the most vibrant alternatives can be found there. Underpinning this move is an epistemological position that recognizes the perspectives of communities, women, and social movements as key entry points into understanding global processes (Haraway 1991(Haraway , 1997Harding 1998;Hartsock 1983;Hill Collins 2000).…”

Cultivating Beyond‐Capitalist Economies

Economic Geography

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Conceptualizations of the economy as diverse and multiple have garnered increased attention in economic geography in recent years. Against the debilitating mantra of TINA (there is no alternative), these conceptualizations use an ontology of proliferation to insist that many viable and vital alternatives to capitalism do, in fact, exist. I aim to contribute to this project with a close reading of the diverse formal and informal economic practices associated with the village of Puno in the Philippines. In doing so, I respond to calls for work that begins in the majority world and that focuses on the broader political project associated with diverse economies. Research in this area has frequently been critiqued for not paying sufficient attention to the unstable yet persistent exclusions that may endure in, and may even be enhanced by, alternative economies. With this article, I aim to investigate the ways that power relations work through the diverse economies of Puno and the ways that residents act to transform these relations. In doing so, I draw on the experiences of three residents of Puno and their involvement in three social movement organizations. I find that the economy is usefully understood as a site of struggle in which residents work to redefine themselves and the economy. The diverse spaces of their economic lives are neither strictly alternative nor mainstream, inherently oppressive nor radical. Rather, the people of Puno are engaged in willfully cultivating spaces-beyond-capitalism through which they transform the very meaning of economic practice. Copyright (c) 2010 Clark University.
