Unlike prevailing research methodologies in the interdisciplinary field of global health, feminist methodologies allow researchers to unsettle the premises and assumptions of the field. This paper describes how we mobilize transnational feminist ethnography in our research on HIV in India and postabortion care in Senegal. Transnational feminist perspectives enable us to re-embed HIV prevention and post-abortion care in the politics of gender and sexuality and in postcolonial histories of health governance. They consider the role of gender and sexuality not just in terms of gendered health inequalities, but also in terms of how global health problems are defined, managed, measured, and contested. We outline how our projects put this lens into practice by pushing the methodological boundaries of time, scale, and scope and through a historicized, multisited, and multiscalar approach that triangulates multiple sources of data. Feminist ethnography requires that we turn the critical gaze upon ourselves, reflecting on multiple and shifting personal and professional positionalities during and after fieldwork and our ethical commitments to our interlocutors. While acknowledging the significant personal, institutional, and professional challenges of using feminist methodologies, especially given the dominant modes of research in global health, we urge greater consideration, among both advanced and early scholars, of the possibilities they offer for studying global health problems.

迈向全球健康中的跨国女权主义方法论:艾滋病毒和堕胎的批判民族志

与全球健康跨学科领域流行的研究方法不同,女权主义方法允许研究人员动摇该领域的前提和假设。本文描述了我们如何在印度的艾滋病毒研究和塞内加尔的堕胎后护理研究中运用跨国女权主义民族志。跨国女权主义观点使我们能够将艾滋病毒预防和堕胎后护理重新纳入性别和性政治以及后殖民健康治理历史中。他们不仅从性别健康不平等的角度考虑性别和性行为的作用,而且还从如何定义、管理、衡量和解决全球健康问题的角度考虑性别和性的作用。我们概述了我们的项目如何通过推动时间、规模和范围的方法论界限,并通过历史化的、对多个数据源进行三角测量的多站点、多标量方法。女权主义民族志要求我们将批判性的目光转向自己,反思在实地考察期间和之后的多重和不断变化的个人和职业立场以及我们对对话者的道德承诺。在承认使用女权主义方法论对个人、机构和专业带来重大挑战的同时,特别是考虑到全球健康研究的主导模式,我们敦促先进和早期学者更多地考虑它们为研究全球健康问题提供的可能性。反思实地考察期间和之后的多重和不断变化的个人和职业立场以及我们对对话者的道德承诺。在承认使用女权主义方法论对个人、机构和专业带来重大挑战的同时,特别是考虑到全球健康研究的主导模式,我们敦促先进和早期学者更多地考虑它们为研究全球健康问题提供的可能性。反思实地考察期间和之后的多重和不断变化的个人和职业立场以及我们对对话者的道德承诺。在承认使用女权主义方法论对个人、机构和专业带来重大挑战的同时,特别是考虑到全球健康研究的主导模式,我们敦促先进和早期学者更多地考虑它们为研究全球健康问题提供的可能性。
