My research focuses on normative-epistemic theories advanced by feminist epistemologists and feminist philosophers of science. These theories respond to questions about the differential social basis of our knowledge practices: who has epistemic authority and how? Why are some epistemic practices treated as if they were apolitical? How could methods of the social sciences advance explanations of these knowledge practices? I am concretely interested in how theories may ameliorate some practical and methodological challenges within social science research, especially with regard to intimate partner violence.
