Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This Second Edition summarizes the state of the art of gender issues in fieldwork both in anthropology and sociology. Warren shows how the researcher′s gender affects both the fieldwork relationships and the production of ethnography. The authors focus is more empirical than theoretical; using literature on gender and ethnography, together with their own experiences as women ethnographers, they focus on ways in which researchers represent these experiences through narrative. 

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Professor Warren (Ph.D. California, San Diego) is interested in social control, law and psychiatry, gender, and interpretive methods. Her current book is Pushbutton Psychiatry: A History of Electroconvulsive Therapy in America (with Timothy Kneeland, Greenwood Press, 2002). She is the author of Gender Issues in Ethnography (with Jennifer Hackney, Sage, 2000), Madwives: Schizophrenic Women in the 1950s (1987), and The Court of Last Resort: Mental Illness and the Law (1982). Areas: Gender, Medical and Legal Systems.

Dr.  Hackney  received her Bachelor’s degree in 1989 in psychology from the University of Oklahoma.  She completed her Master of Arts in sociology at OU in 1993.   After completing her Ph.D. work at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas,  she happily returned to Norman in 2002 to teach sociology classes full-time at OU.  Despite her time in Kansas,  she remains “Sooner born and Sooner bred.”

Dr. Hackney has many areas of  intellectual interest,  including medical sociology,  deviance and social control,  gender,  and social research methods.  All of these areas were connected in her dissertation, Sins of the Flesh: Sex, Celibacy and Cancer.  Her publications include two articles concerning retirement (2000, 2002) authored with David Ekerdt,  the second edition of Gender Issues in Ethnography (2000) written with Carol Warren,  and “Pets” in The Encyclopedia of  Aging (2002) published by MacMillan.

Although she enjoys research and writing,   Dr. Hackney has the greatest enthusiasm right now for  teaching.        She began her college teaching career at KU in 1993 and has consistently gained pleasure from the intellectual stimulation, challenges and fulfillment she receives from encouraging students to think and to use their “sociological imaginations.”    Additionally,  she has enjoyed her work as an advisor to sociology students.    Dr. Hackney believes that the sharing of knowledge and information is extremely important and finds her  work with students, both in the classroom and one-on-one, exciting.

Outside of school (yes,  there is life outside of school),  she dotes on her dogs and cats,  and enjoys spending time with her husband and their families,  all of whom live in the Oklahoma City area.
