Exploring the relationship between Feminist Research and Quantitative Methods
A one-day Conference, University of Warwick
Friday 7th November 2008
Feminism Counts will examine the, historically complex, relationship between feminist research and quantitative methods. It will also explore a range of dilemmas that contemporary feminists face when using quantitative tools and techniques. Importantly, it is designed to cross the quantitative-qualitative divide. Accordingly, the conference is aimed at feminist researchers who use quantitative methods in their research and those who do not. It will provide the former with an opportunity to reflect on their practice and the latter a space to explore the potential of this methodology.
The conference is suitable for feminist researchers at all career stages - from students to senior academics.
We welcome the attendance of feminist researchers in the public and voluntary sectors as well as from within academia.
Speakers
- Dr Jane Elliott, Centre for Longitudinal Studies, Institute of Education, University of London
- Dr Liz Hodgkinson, School of Engineering, University of Plymouth
- Professor Kate Purcell, Institute for Employment Research, University of Warwick
- Professor Jackie Scott, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, University of Cambridge
- Professor Sylvia Walby, Department of Sociology, University of Lancaster (withdrawn)
The conference aims to facilitate the contributions and involvement of all participants and will be organised to maximise the sharing of ideas.
Time: 10am - 4.30pm
Venue: University of Warwick Teaching Grid
Conference fees: £40 waged, £20 unwaged. To book a place, contact: Ann Ryan
Two subsidised places are available to student members of the GEA.

A professional development workshop will follow on Friday November 14th.
The PDW is aimed at feminist researchers who have not previously used quantitative methods in their research and are interested in finding out a bit more about what data exist and what they can do with them. It will be run as an interactive workshop and there will be time for hands-on learning as well as discussion and debate.
The PDW will run from 1pm to 4pm.
The PDW is FREE for:
