The 20 chapters present the most hotly contested debates and offer solutions to potential and perceived problems.

Researching Gender-Based Violence
Embodied and Intersectional Approaches
By April D.J. Petillo, Heather R. Hlavka
Despite the growing interest in the subject of gender violence, surprisingly little has been written in recent years about the methodology behind this emerging field of research.

The book argues for new approaches to research and activism on genderbased violence grounded in the intersectional realities of individuals and communities. Each chapter discusses the role of reflective methodologies to recognize institutional and intersectional inequalities, challenging the reader to contemplate ethical considerations of an embodied feminist methodology when researching gender-based violence.
