The course introduces PhD students to classical texts and new debates in the field. The connection between ways of understanding knowledge production and methodological choices and dilemmas is emphasized. Why was a method debate the starting point for the elaboration of feminist epistemology? What are the methodological challenges for research inspired by feminist, queer or post-colonial theory today?

Further, we address the current situation in which scientific knowledge is questioned. The course calls upon a wide group of PhD students and offers room for dialogue about the students’ own research topics. The course is given in English, with Swedish and English as working languages.
