"Driving forces behind the occurrence of either paradigm shifts in science,
or the development of new orientations within science, are often linked to
demands for an increased validity or reliability in knowledge production
in science. With this as a starting point, I discuss parallels and diversities

both research traditions. Starting from a general discussion using “reflexive
gender reminders”, to frame knowledge production, I then discuss dilemmas
of robustness in interactive research processes, and researcher and
participant subjectivity." (author's abstract)... view less
