feminist empiricism

Feminist empiricism is an approach in feminist theory that advocates for the inclusion of women’s experiences in scientific research while maintaining a commitment to empirical methods. It argues that traditional scientific practices have often overlooked or misrepresented women's perspectives. By advocating for a more inclusive research process, feminist empiricism aims to produce knowledge that better reflects reality. It emphasizes that evidence and objective inquiry can reveal biases and improve understanding of gender issues, thereby challenging the notion that the sciences are entirely neutral or free from social influences.
