More About This Book

Overview

The presence of women of color within the practical applications of social science research findings is severely limited. Several issues, such as spaces where and when women of color enter the arenas of research methodology, need to be addressed differently. This book does so by locating the experiences and knowledge of women of color as its central theme, with sections of the text referring to emerging trends that attend to the need for greater representation of women of color in research and academic settings. A key theme is the dislodging of the experience of women of color from currently accepted positions as marginalized and subsumed under normative modes of examination to central positions in areas of social science research and clinical practice. This is in response to the typical assumption of the need to 'fix' women of color, be it based on their immigration status, sexual orientation, race, culture, class or spiritual practice. Benefiting By Design attends to the salient contexts of the lives of women of color from an emic perspective, by providing models for addressing the limitations that result from exclusion, and strategies for centering the experiential knowledge of women of color in social science research and practice that is designed for their benefit.
