| Summary≠ | Memory-work is a collective feminist research method, devised by Frigga Haug and her colleagues in the 1980s, in which a group of co-researchers each writes down concrete memories about a shared theme and then analyzes those memories together to uncover how gendered subjectivities are socially constructed. By treating their own remembered experiences as data, participants dissolve the boundary between researcher and researched and expose the everyday processes through which people actively make themselves into the gendered subjects society expects them to become. | Feminist Participatory Action Research (FPAR) fuses the participatory action research tradition — in which communities investigate their own conditions through cycles of action and reflection — with feminist commitments to analyzing gender power, foregrounding marginalized women's knowledge, practicing reflexivity, and producing concrete social change. Pioneered by Patricia Maguire in 1987 and later systematized by Colleen Reid and Wendy Frisby, it dissolves the usual divide between researcher and researched, positioning community members as co-researchers who shape the questions, the process, and the outcomes. |
