Gender Issues in Field Research

by Carol A.B. Warren

Gender is a focal organizing category in social life and social science; it is therefore essential that field researchers develop a sensitivity to issues of gender and understand the place of gender both when carrying out fieldwork and when producing ethnographic reports. Gender Issues in Field Research summarizes the state of the art of gender issues in fieldwork both in anthropology and sociology. Warren shows how the researcher′s gender affects both the fieldwork relationships and the production of ethnography.
