Research methodology covers a range of topics, and a quick search of the catalog for feminist research will lead you to an extensive range of options. Most feminist research methods books are located in the HQ 1180 call number area, on the second floor, east, in Ellis Library.

Below is a small sampling of titles:

• not just describing the world, but looking for ways to change the world
• reducing hierarchy as an organizing principle of social life
• working to make people who are often invisible or silenced visible and heard
• acknowledging the researcher's own connections to the people, events, and phenomena being studied
