This course examines approaches to research and research methodologies pertaining to the investigation of
women, gender, and sexualities. Our research methods will focus on how feminist and queer scholars have
used methodology and theories in their fields of knowledge. The course will prepare students from the
humanities and social sciences to conduct qualitative research. It will thus provide students with the basic
tools to conduct research using feminist and queer methods. They will experiment and play with a variety of
methods, such as: archival research, interviews, oral histories, ethnographies, cartographies and other
unorthodox approaches, while also rehearsing how to incorporate theory, how to develop research questions
and hypotheses, the use of a variety of sources, the critical and ethical use of evidence, and the planning and
structure of designing a research project. This course provides the basis for WS499 WGS Senior Capstone
where students produce elaborated independent research project
