Abstract

This chapter argues the importance for feminist governance scholars of following feminist epistemology in their research and draws on various examples from current feminist governance scholarship. Focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of commonly-used research methods, the chapter critically examines how gender and intersectionality can and should be incorporated and mainstreamed in feminist governance scholarship. It calls for researchers to pay attention to their own power and positionality and to recognise the implications of the methods they use, the individuals and cases they study and the literature they engage with. It advocates for intersectionality and decolonial epistemology to be praxes of feminist governance scholarship.
