Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture: Reflections From a Long-Term Collaboration Using Mixed Methods
反思了一项长达十五年的混合方法合作研究，探讨了农业研究与发展中女性赋权的量化与质性测量，揭示了联合资产所有权、决策权及能动性随时间变化的重要性。
This article explores a fifteen-year collaborative process of studying women’s empowerment in agricultural research for development using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The article discusses how this deep collaboration has provided new insights into women’s empowerment. These collaborations were based on feminist principles related to both the processes and the content of the work. Mixed methods were used within single projects, across sub-projects in different contexts, and across projects over time. By using qualitative and quantitative methods together, new insights are generated about how joint asset ownership and decision making may or may not be empowering and the importance of agency over time, not just workload, as an indicator of empowerment. In addition, the article discusses what has been learned about the processes of collaboration with partners across disciplines and methodologies, geographies, and time and its value in knowledge formation.
