The
Handbook of Feminist Research Methodologies in Management and Organization Studies focuses on the interlinkages between feminist theories, methodologies and research methods.
This ground-breaking Handbook analyses classic feminist theoretical texts and their methodological implications, as well as topical approaches to management and organization studies, including postcolonial feminism, critical race theory and new feminist materialisms. The book discusses what kind of methodological and methods related concerns different theoretical approaches call forth and highlights them through empirical examples. Featuring contributions from leading scholars in the field of management and organization studies, the book examines knowledge production through different theoretical perspectives, including standpoint feminism, feminist post-structuralism, postcolonial feminism, and queer analysis. Providing a critical and analytical lens through which to view traditional research practices, it offers insight into how to tackle ethical and practical issues related to feminist research.
This book is a vital resource for graduate and post-graduate students in management and organization as well as gender and management. It also provides feminist scholars a comprehensive overview of the contemporary debates in the field. The book is a key resource for any student and scholar engaged in qualitative methodologies and research methods in management, and organization studies and social sciences in general.
This title contains one or more Open Access chapters.

In this foray through Feminist Research Methodologies in Management and Organization Studies, Katila, Meriläinen and Bell have managed to astutely show the plurality, richness and political urgency of employing feminist methods that challenge the nature and process of knowledge production. The book is populated with many of my favourite writers and feminists who deftly show the complexity and possibility in feminist research. Stretching these horizons is essential for broadening and deepening our understanding of organizations and creating better worlds that benefit us all. It certainly succeeds in its aim to provide inspiration and support to scholars interested in feminist methodologies and is a must-read for those working in this space. -- Sheena Vachhani, University of Bristol, UK Given the rise of feminist thinking and research in the field of management and organization studies, this volume is an essential, timely resource for understanding the intricate relationships among feminist theories, epistemologies, and methodologies. The chapters illuminate the theoretical pluralities, responsibilities, ethics, and situatedness of producing feminist knowledge within a context of persistent global gender equalities shaped by race, class, sexuality, location, and other forms of marginalization. -- Stella M. Nkomo, University of Pretoria, South Africa Superbly organized and crafted, this volume offers a clear feminist research and activism path for organization and management scholars to follow, appreciating the past, engaging with the present, and opening possibilities for desirable futures. Written in gratitude, these lines thus celebrate the extraordinary critical intervention editors and authors accomplished by making such a work possible. -- Marta B. Calás, University of Massachusetts Amherst, US
