Abstract The legitimacy of feminist ways of knowing and the well-being of marginalized identities they attend to are endangered by a “post-truth,” North American political climate. There thus arises an urgent need to examine and vindicate the significance of feminist methods (FM) for women and people of color (WPC). This article contributes to this goal by critically examining the themes that have hitherto organized FM as a category of efforts to reverse WPC’s historical dispossession in the academy. This article identifies three thematic objectives of FM (symbolic, social, and economic empowerment of WPC to reverse their historical dispossession), three thematic strategies of FM to accomplish these objectives in research design (centering WPC in the research agenda, designing more inclusive methods, innovating new theoretical concepts to analyze findings), and two thematic debates that continue to divide FM (styles of intersectionality and identity in the feminist movement as an analytical approach and political effort at large). This article concludes by situating these thematic distinctions in Lamont and Swidler’s broader articulation of methodological tribalism, opening dialogue on the political and analytical advantages of and need for superior methodological pluralism in FM.

在“后真相”的政治氛围中的女权主义方法：目标，策略和分歧

摘要女性主义的认识方式的合法性及其所参加的边缘化身份的幸福受到北美“后真相”政治气候的威胁。因此，迫切需要检查和证明女权主义方法（FM）对妇女和有色人种（WPC）的重要性。本文通过批判性地研究迄今为止组织了FM的主题来为实现这一目标做出贡献，这些主题是努力扭转WPC在学院中的历史性剥夺的一类努力。本文确定了FM的三个主题目标（赋予WPC符号，社会和经济权力以扭转其历史支配），FM的三个主题策略以在研究设计中实现这些目标（将WPC置于研究议程的中心，设计更具包容性的方法，创新性的新理论概念来分析发现），还有两个主题辩论，继续划分FM（女权主义运动中的交往和认同风格作为一种分析方法和广泛的政治努力）。本文以拉蒙特和斯威德勒对方法论部落的更广泛阐述中的这些主题区别为基础，结束了对FM的政治和分析优势以及对更高方法论多元性的需求的对话。
