What does it mean to say that there is a feminist sociology? And how
might we engage the full potential of a “feminist sociological
imagination”?
These questions lie at the heart of Jo Reger’s slim guide to a
powerful tool, which has a long history in US sociology and yet
remains as urgently needed as ever. Grounded in a need to change both
society and the discipline, feminist sociology challenges the
foundations of traditional social science and articulates new ways of
creating knowledge, doing research, and understanding the role of
researchers and the people they study. Drawing on concepts such as
positionality and reflexivity and emphasizing the importance of
feminist ethics, emotions, activism, and transformation, this concise
book traces out what it means to engage in feminist sociology and to
claim the identity of a feminist sociologist.
