N = 5 to 20: A Challenge to Feminist Research?
| |
| | Unformatted Document Text:
Abstract: This paper discusses the challenges that feminist researchers face when they use the
positivist case study approach. The mainstream approach to case comparison requires feminist
researchers to clearly define variables and work with a moderately sized “n.” I first describe
why this perspective frustrates feminist researchers, for example, incorporating multiple cases
could mean less expression of the complexity of gender. Despite challenges, in the second half
of the paper, I argue that positivist principles and the comparative method can be beneficial to
feminist researchers, specifically because they encourage sub-national and cross-national
analyses – both of which are essential in a world that is both local and global in terms of politics
and identities.
