Illustrates the complex relationship between gender and research. This work uses concrete examples and draws upon their own gendered experiences by including mini-case studies from research projects in areas such as childhood studies, health care and education. "Reflexive research struggles for legitimacy in neoliberalised universities which valorise evidence-based research. There is also little guidance for doing this work 'in a way that is both reflexive and, yet, notes the limits of self-reflexivity' (Lather 1993, 685 cited in Davies et al. 2004, 361). Commendably, [the authors] recognise its complexity and the tensions between 'researcher identity as part of the academy and researcher identity as part of the field of action' (p. 108)."
