Feminism Counts: Quantitative Methods And Researching Gender

This is an important and timely text that provides a unique overview of contemporary quantitative approaches to gender research. The contributors are internationally recognised researchers from the UK, North America and Sweden and occupy a range of disciplinary locations, including historical demography, sociology and policy studies. Their research includes explorations of heterosexual and same sex violence, media responses to feminist research, data sources for the study of equalities, approaches for analysing global and local demographic change and intersectional concerns in respect of work and employment. An introductory chapter illustrates the significance of geography and discipline in the take-up of methodological preferences.
