“…Geographers have described the body as a sort of fieldwork equipment, a tool for data collection, or ‘instrument of research’ ( Crang, 2003 ; Longhurst et al, 2008 ). Feminist researchers have noted feelings of discomfort and fear around participants ( Silvey, 2003 ), developing friendships ( Blake, 2007 ), awkward encounters when disengaging or leaving the field ( Hall, 2014 ), grief ( Falconer, 2017 ; Stacey, 1998 ) and so on. During fieldwork, as in all everyday encounters, bodies of researchers and participants are ‘placed’ according to gender, class, race, age, sexuality, disability, etc.…”

“…Seeking to problematise the binary of ‘familiarity’ and ‘difference’, feminist geographers have also shown that while at times problematic, embodied similarities and positionalities can be a site for building rapport ( Falconer, 2017 ; Richardson, 2015 ; Tarrant, 2014 ), granting access to participants and groups in ways that another body, any body might not. Wilkinson (2016 : 117) argues for an extended discussion ‘of the appearance of the researcher beyond meta-categories such as gender and skin colour’, to include similarities in ‘“embellishments”; for instance: make-up, hair extensions, fake nails and false eyelashes'.…”

Austerity policies and austere socio-economic conditions in the UK have had acute consequences for everyday life and, interconnectedly, the political and structural regimes that impact upon the lives of women and marginalised groups. Feminist geographies have arguably been enlivened and reinvigorated by critical engagements with austerity, bringing to light everyday experiences, structural inequalities and multi-scalar socio-economic relations. With this paper I propose five areas of intervention for further research in this field: social reproduction, everyday epistemologies, intersectionality, voice and silence, and embodied fieldwork. To conclude, I argue for continuing feminist critique and analyses given the legacies and futures of austerity.

“…Somos conscientes de que la investigación feminista puede ser problemática porque no obedece a reglas concretas que permitan calificarla de "correcta" (Falconer, 2017). No obstante, asumimos el reto de esbozar cuáles serían los principales elementos en el diseño de una investigación feminista derivados de la revisión, interpretación y análisis de la literatura científica actual y de referencia.…”

“…"En otros casos, las altas exigencias que implica la elaboración conjunta de una producción narrativa (tiempo, participación, redacción, lecturas) y el nivel de compromiso social o político de las personas participantes hicieron que sus contribuciones fueran menores y más de corrección estilística; en otros casos jugó en contra el fin de conseguir un texto que pudiera ser reconocido a nivel teórico lo que afectó a aquellos/as participantes con menos recursos lingüísticos y habilidades escritas para poder adentrarse en la coconstrucción del relato" (Pérez, Valderrama, y Álvarez, 2017: 2017.…”

La investigación feminista genera otras formas de hacer ciencia. En el ámbito de las ciencias sociales, aún sigue resultando desconocida y controvertida desde el punto de vista metodológico. Las epistemologías feministas, sus principios y valores marcan las directrices metodológicas de este tipo de investigación. Hay escasos trabajos que se centren en aportar pautas aplicadas y sintéticas de lo que implica una buena práctica de investigación desde este enfoque. Por ello, nos proponemos generar, desde la evidencia, una guía con pasos metodológicos que permitan planear y diseñar la investigación feminista. También, perseguimos identificar en la literatura científica los principales desafíos metodológicos a los que se enfrenta en la actualidad este tipo de investigación. Así, realizamos una revisión de literatura reciente y referente en la materia, seleccionando tanto estudios empíricos y que recogen casos ilustrativos de investigaciones feministas como reflexiones metodológicas y revisiones publicadas en revistas de una diversidad de áreas de ciencias sociales y que cuentan con revisión por pares. El análisis de las contribuciones se realiza desde un enfoque temático y de teoría fundamentada, siguiendo procesos de codificación abierta y abductiva, donde se tienen en cuenta conceptos nucleares para las epistemologías feministas. Los procesos de análisis buscan la proyección aplicada de principios y valores de las epistemologías feministas en una estructura interpretativa que guíe y oriente la investigación. El aporte final supone disponer de una guía fundamentada y ejemplificada que permite articular futuros diseños de investigación, alertando sobre aspectos metodológicos clave para tener en cuenta. Así como también, se identifican cuatro desafíos metodológicos principales que mantienen el debate abierto en la academia en torno a la investigación feminista actual. En última instancia, el estudio invita a la reflexión sobre la tensión entre el ideal de investigación feminista, la práctica actual de esta investigación y las posibilidades metodológicas que implica su puesta en marcha.Feminist research generates other ways of doing science. In the field of social sciences, it is still unknown and controversial from a methodological point of view. Feminist epistemologies, their principles and values set the methodological guidelines for this type of research. There are few works that focus on providing applied and synthetic guidelines of what a good research practice implies from this approach. Therefore, we propose to generate, from the evidence, a guide with methodological steps that allow planning and designing feminist research. Also, we seek to identify in the scientific literature the main methodological challenges that this type of research currently faces. Thus, we conducted a review of recent and benchmark literature on the subject, selecting both empirical studies that collect illustrative cases of feminist research as well as methodological reflections and reviews published in journals from a variety of areas of social sciences and that have peer review. The analysis of the contributions is carried out from a thematic and grounded theory approach, following open and abductive coding processes, where core concepts for feminist epistemologies are taken into account. The analysis processes seek the applied projection of principles and values of feminist epistemologies in an interpretive structure that guides and orients the investigation. The final contribution involves having a well-founded and exemplified guide that allows the articulation of future research designs, warning about key methodological aspects to take into account. As well as, four main methodological challenges are identified that keep the debate open in academia around current feminist research. Ultimately, the study invites reflection on the tension between the ideal of feminist research, the current practice of this research and the methodological possibilities that its implementation implies.

I say a little prayer for me: Poetry as spiritual self‐care in the ethnographic field

How do we make sense of our place in the field as researchers and as sexual, spiritual beings? Ethnographic fieldwork is central to several disciplines, including geography. It involves the researcher encountering and gathering stories and meanings through interaction with people's lived experiences in settings that are often not the researcher's own. Although rarely strain‐free, fieldwork is seen as a transformative experience, both from the personal and the academic point of view. This paper, situated at the intersection of geography, queer/ing practices, and ethnographic methodology, explores poetry as a form of self‐care in the field. In recent years, poetry has emerged as a creative and productive mode of representation and (co‐)interpretation of qualitative data. Based on my own spiritual experience(s) while conducting fieldwork in Spain, I consider prayer cards as a poetic form and a means through which issues of self‐care and spiritual self‐preservation are made visible, particularly when experienced within a social environment that is hostile to LGBTQ+ lived experiences of faith.
