"I shall show why it is reasonable to think that the socially situated grounds and subjects of standpoint epistemologies require and generate stronger standards for objectivity than do those that turn away from providing systematic methods for locating knowledge in history." (Harding, p. 50)

I am confused by part of standpoint theory brought up at end of chapter- idea of the goal being to eliminate the interest/values of both dominant groups/colonized minorities in research, but that this doesnt mean results wouldn't be value neutral. what is the goal then?

What are the relationships between standpoint, strong objectivity and reflexivity? How do we carry the critiques and possibilities they offer into our research praxis?

Just in general, some of the sticky areas / tensions around standpoint theory - that there can be both tremendous knowledge and experience that comes from belonging to a group, but adhering so strongly to that notion becomes essentialist.

How do you navigate your way through that?

I wonder about 'the hows' that are offered when we take stand point seriously.. what do we do after we recognize that we each have important valuable knowledge to contribute?

While making sense of this was painful, our research project provided a way for us to engage and use this new knowledge productively rather than be demoralized by it (hooks, 1995). Our study of our neighborhood

forces on our everyday lives

"To me feminism is not simply a struggle to end male chauvinism or a movement to ensure that women will have equal rights with men; it is a commitment to eradicating the ideology of domination that permeates Western culture on various levels--sex, race, and class, to name a few--and a commitment to reorganizing U.S. society so that the self-development of people can take precedence over imperialism, economic expansion, and material desires" (Hooks, 1981, 194).

Tiffiany: I never thought of research as a tool to talk back to the community. I always thought of it as analyzing (sometimes over- analyzing) history. Like with researching past events something we would get in school or looking up a lot of information on a certain subject. I also thought of research being used like statistics, making observations

about things and only using them for big companies or businesses.
