Talking to Manager-Academics

Methodological Dilemmas and Feminist Research Strategies

Rosemary Deem

University of Bristol, R.Deem{at}bristol.ac.uk

The paper examines how qualitative feminist research can inform the study of engendered practices in organizational settings. It reviews current debates about feminist research, including Oakley’s (1998, 2000) critique of the ways in which qualitative methods and data are used by feminists. The work of Skeggs (2001) on feminist principles for undertaking qualitative research is also examined. The paper then considers two pieces of research on work and engendered organizations that used mixed methods and data. Finally the paper considers some of the methodological challenges faced by the author in two recent qualitative projects about manager-academics. Using qualitative data, it is argued, does not necessarily restrict the wider policy applicability of the project findings. However, working in teams with those not committed to feminist research can present other challenges, which may also throw light on the phenomena being researched.

Key Words: academic-managers • feminist methods • gender • organizations • post-compulsory education • qualitative research
