[ecrea] CfP: Quantitative methods, big data and gender

Mon Oct 17 20:56:00 GMT 2016



  Quantitative methods, big data and gender


  /Special issue of Women, Gender & Research. /

Submission deadline: November 1st 2016

The interest in quantitative methodologies is emerging in gender
studies along with recent developments in policy making as well as in
theoretical gender research. In general the hegemony of evidence-based
policy making has turned statistics and quantitative methodologies
into key data with wide ranging effects on political interventions and
on growing inequalities in everyday life. The idea of this special
issue is to challenge the equation of quantitative data and
methodologies with existing power structures and to address both old
and new ideas of gender. What are the potentials of handling diversity
(gender, class, race, sexuality) and multiple categories in
quantitative methodologies? And how do big data and the increasing
possibility of large and open data-collections play into possible
critiques of normativity and existing power configurations?
