In 1986 Sandra Harding’s The Science Question in Feminism questioned whether the ‘gold standard’ scientific method was capable of producing knowledge not tainted by sexism and ethnocentrism. Harding argued for a feminist standpoint theory, which privileged the voices and lives of marginalized subject/agents of knowledge, to generate knowledge about society capable of transforming society and academia. Over the past 30 years feminist methods have continued to question the limitations of knowledge produced within dominant paradigms and changed the ways in which research is done across multiple disciplines. This conference aims to provoke discussion and debate, and showcase diverse transformative feminist methods at work within the neo-liberal University, the digital age and ‘austerity’ Britain.
