\nWhat types of research skills are necessary for conducting good quality participatory research? Is participatory research a good terrain for conducting interdisciplinary research? How can the results of such research be transformed not only into policy recommendations, but also included into the teaching process and theory development? What difference does a feminist type of participatory research make? How is the relation between activism, research and academia functioning in a feminist performance? <\/p>\n

\nFeminist research on women belonging to ethnic and\/or sexual minorities raises crucial questions regarding the ethics and politics of research: who is representing whom and whose voice is heard in the relationship among the researcher and the researched, or between these women and their immediate minority communities. Besides this, the clash amid the universalist discourse of human rights (usually represented by feminists) and the particularist discourse of culture (at their turn acted out by the mainstream ethnic leaders) increases the researcher\u2019s risk of being blamed for approaching sensitive issues. Our discussion touches on questions like: which are the pro- and counter-arguments of an action research reflecting on them, what kinds of perception of feminism are informing these attitudes, who decides for who is the transformative action for and which would be the values to which it should be committed, and how could one imagine a trans-ethnic and trans-gender feminism that might function in the framework of such a research?<\/p>\n

\nThe role of education in the formation of the gender order, and vice versa, the role that gender plays in education in its wider sense has many aspects to deal with. The main question of this panel might refer mainly to the gains that a university has as a result of introducing gender studies among its programs. Through this, gender studies acts as a form of academic activism that might be directed towards not only describing the existing (academic) gendered regimes of truth, but also changing them. The necessity of introducing the gender perspective as well as into the pre-university education might be also addressed. In that context to, it could play an important role in transforming the dominant ways of teaching, interacting and viewing the world. <\/p>\n

\n‘Action research’ is often oriented to a particular pressing issue, so it is under the constraints of strict time-frames. But in these terms scholars should also consider the implications of a long term research that is a territory where anthropologists might be the main advocates. They are returning again and again to a particular field, having the chance to build a long-lasting relation with the research participants, so not only to construct action strategies on a solid base, but also to continue this contact in a longer perspective and to be able to have a real impact on the slowly changing elements of everyday life.<\/p>\n
