“…Giving voice to the research subjects, telling stories of abuse and cultures of violence, 'letting people tell their own stories of struggle can be seen as a form of advocacy' (Neitz 2014). As Beaman (2014) points out with regard to her work on Latter-Day Saint women living in polygamous marriages, this strategy was not well received by all feminists, since taking the voices of these people seriously undermined some basic assumptions shared by feminists.…”

“…Marxism claims an epistemic privilege over fundamental questions of economics, sociology, and history on behalf of the standpoint of the proletariat(Neitz, 2014).3 Historical materialism is the Marxist theory (adopted as the official philosophy of the Soviet communists) that political and historical events result from the conflict of social forces and are interpretable as a series of contradictions and their solutions. The conflict is believed to be caused by material needs.…”

Higher education plays a critical role in society’s development, particularly in the current era of globalization in which knowledge-based innovations are critical for development. However, women’s underrepresentation in higher education remains a persistent issue of concern, particularly, in sub-Saharan Africa. The gender gap in higher education is created by complex interconnected sets of deep-rooted factors. A clear understanding of the underlying causes of gender inequality in higher education is necessary to develop effective interventions to overcome this disparity. Feminist standpoint and feminist intersectionality epistemologies have been used to provide insights into gender disparities in higher education. Drawing on existing published literature, I will discuss the conceptual and theoretical frameworks of these two feminist epistemologies and explore the methodological implications of these epistemologies for critically examining gender disparities in higher education in the context of sub-Saharan Africa. Keywords: epistemology, feminism, gender, higher education, intersectionality

Feminist Standpoint Theory

Feminist standpoint theory is a broad categorization that includes somewhat diverse theories ranging from Hartsock's feminist historical materialist perspective, to Haraway's analysis of situated knowledges, Collins' black feminist thought, Sandoval's explication of third world feminists' differential oppositional consciousness, and Smith's everyday world sociology for women. Knowledge generated from embodied standpoints of subordinates is powerful in that it can help transform traditional categories of analyses that originate from dominant groups. However, as many feminist standpoint theorists argue, it remains only a partial perspective. Given standpoint theory's emphasis on a process of dialogue, analysis, and reflexivity, the approach has proven extremely vibrant and open to reassessment and revision. As a consequence, standpoint theory remains an extremely important approach within feminist theory.
