Memory-Work Method
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.
