Summary Are there differences in the levels of access given to male and female researchers in the field setting? Does gender influence or limit researchers in the types of questions that they are allowed to investigate? Warren, a well-known field researcher, addresses these issues using examples from anthropological, sociological and organizational research. In essence, the author shows that ethnography, as the polished product of field research, cannot be understood without explicitly taking into account the ways the gender of the researcher influences both fieldwork relations and the production of the final report. Using a wide range of examples, Gender Issues in Field Research successfully discloses gender differences that continue to affect researchers. It will serve as an excellent text for field research, anthropology, or women's studies courses. "[Gender Issues in Field Research] would be especially useful in a research methods course and for any researcher who has an investment in conducting nonsexist analyses. . . . [It] brings a different perspective to the continuing development of research methodology from a feminist perspective." --Feminist Collections "Brings a review of gender issues that will be profitable for the beginning field worker as well as those more advanced scholars now keenly attuned to the problematics of reflexivity in this method....It is perhaps her section on gender and knowledge that Warren's contribution moves to the leading edge of current concerns about reflexivity and ethnography. This volume had an excellent bibliography of recent literature, which she has cited and which provides an avenue into this new era and arena of ethnography/fieldwork for those who wish to explore." --Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease.
