In \u003cem\u003eExperiments in Knowing\u003c\/em\u003e, a major new work, Oakley integrates her personal and professional thinking to examine the historical development of methodology in the social and natural sciences, demonstrating how both fields have been subject to a process of \"gendering.\" Oakley not only reconciles the long-standing opposition between the quantitative and the qualitative methods but shows that the experimental and intuitive approaches must be used in tandem to provide a full understanding of any subject of scientific inquiry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten in accessible language, \u003cem\u003eExperiments in Knowing\u003c\/em\u003e addresses themes of common interest across such diverse fields as social policy, education, health, and women's studies. Certain to generate considerable debate, it is both a fascinating history of the practice of social science from a feminist perspective, as well as an argument for a new way of thinking about our ways of knowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ann Oakley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48283783037179,"sku":"9781565846203","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/experiments-in-knowing-9781565846203","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
