Humor in women’s accounts of their involvement in social action

Rachel R. Gouin

This article explores women’s use of humor in recounting their experiences and involvement in social justice movements and community groups. The author’s approach is qualitative and reflexive and explicitly presents her struggle with her role as a researcher/activist. She explores issues of relationship, solidarity and conflict in qualitative research, particularly feminist methodologies.

Key Words: feminist methodology • humor • qualitative research • reflexivity • research relationship
