Problem
I. Kleinman does fieldwork- she goes out into "the field", which could be almost any place where other people are, and she studies interactions between people. Have you been exposed to this kind of research before? If you have, were you aware of how identity might affect this research? If you haven't heard of this type of research- what did you learn about it from her writing?
II. How did Kleinman's increasing awareness of feminism help her in her research?
III. Does Kleinman write from an intersectional point of view? Why/why not?
IV. What does Kleinman mean when she says "it's the feminist analyst's job to recognize and analyze the elephant" (6)? Have you seen research that has done this? Which?
V. Disagree or Agree with Kleinman that "The point of understanding systematic inequality is to learn how to undo it" (6)? What would research that has this goal look like?
VI. Why are ethical dilemmas during research so difficult to predict and to know how to respond to?
VII. What is a way to paraphrase autonomy, beneficence and justice? Which of these do you find most important? Why?
