IMPARTIAL OBSERVATION AND PARTIAL PARTICIPATION: Feminist Ethnography in Politically Charged Japan
Critical Asian Studies, 2007Co-Authors: Tomomi YamaguchiAbstract:ABSTRACT Using reflexive accounts from her own research, the author of this article discusses her struggles as a Japanese Feminist Anthropologist with what “contribution” actually means in different research contexts. The author compares her dissertation research on a Feminist group with her ongoing research project on right-wing opponents of feminism. As a Feminist, the author found it relatively easy to practice the idea of contribution with Feminists as her research subjects. The situation was much more complex, however, when studying conservative opponents of feminism, whose views were directly oppositional to the author's views and to the human rights principles supported by the American Anthropological Association. By examining her fieldwork experiences on these two types of activists, the author discusses the possibilities and constraints of ethnographic practices such as participant observation, archival research, and contribution to the people Anthropologists study and to feminism.

No full circle: Revisiting my journey in Feminist anthropology
Contributions to Indian Sociology, 2016Co-Authors: Kamala GaneshAbstract:This article is a reflection on my career as a Feminist Anthropologist. It suggests that it was feminism that allowed sociology to be reflexively reversed in using the life of an individual to understand the bigger system. It moves on to discuss my own engagement with Feminist anthropology: my growth as a scholar in the field over nearly four decades which also mirrors some aspects of the development of the subject and the Indian scholarship around it. It maps my trajectory and that of the discipline of anthropology over locations of caste, class and postcoloniality. It also provides a review of the relationship between feminism and anthropology in India.

Toward a Feminist Anthropology of Childhood
1999Co-Authors: Jane HelleinerAbstract:Beginning with the author's experience of joining a Child and Youth Studies department as a Feminist Anthropologist, the paper reviews the historically weak links between feminism, anthropology and child research. It then draws attention to a newer sociology and anthropology of childhood that is more closely engaged with feminism. Examples of anthropological work that foreground gendered children are used to prompt a re-visiting of the authors' own anthropological work on Irish Travelling People, and to demonstrate the possibilities of a Feminist anthropology of childhood.

Multiple Commitments and Ethical Dilemmas in Performed Ethnography
2014Co-Authors: Tara Goldstein, Image Irene KicakAbstract:Theater signals for me a kind of paradigm shift away from the purely textual toward the performative, the evanescent, the nondiscursive, the collaborative. It can attempt to make political/intellectual/aesthetic interventions in another register, enabling the playwright and audiences to confront dilemmas and situations that are “good to think ” in powerfully engaging modes quite different from conventional academic prose (Feminist Anthropologist, ethnographer and playwright Dorinne Kondo 1995:51)
