This is an advanced course designed for doctoral students, which explores feminist debates on epistemology, methodology and methods, paying close attention to the "why" and "how" of the research process, or what Professor Emerita M. Jacqui Alexander refers to as the itinerary of an idea, as well as the complex process of its realization. This course offers a space for students to reflect carefully, creatively, and critically on their research journeys, while also offering an opportunity to address/demystify the moving parts of the doctoral process.
