We present results of our research, which has been aimed at understanding the experience, practice, and sexual life in women over 50 years of age. We studied a sample of 729 women of between 50 and 80 years of age. The research is part of qualitative feminist research methodology. Both qualitative and quantitative data have been collected through focus groups and a questionnaire drawn up by our research team. The results show the satisfaction of older women-of all ages-with their sex life and the importance of contextual and relational sexuality issues of women. Autoeroticism is the most established sexual practice in this group of older women and highlights who want to experience some changes in their current sex life around the desire for a more sensual and emotional sexuality, with a claim of more passionate and frequent relations. The data collected reveal a qualitative difference in the reality of sex over the age of 70.

Homeopathic education standards are regulated by a range of variable practices in different countries. Professional organisations commonly regulate courses without statutory support for this task. Statutory enforcement of educational standards (with/without statutory registration of practitioners) is relatively uncommon. The development of professional standards in homeopathic education has increased in recent decades; however, most systems remain voluntary and provide guidance rather enforce requirements. Educational standards include a significant degree of commonality in homeopathic knowledge and skills, with larger variations in biosciences, social sciences and research methodology. Homeopathic prophylactic techniques are an exception to this commonality, and are rarely well addressed in educational guidelines despite the attention they receive within the community. Public health and infectious disease training is similarly inadequately addressed as underpinning knowledge for prophylactic prescribing approaches in practice.

Since its emergence in 1980s, Feminist Research Methodology has become a legitimate, relevant and popular research model. Its quality, and the validity of its findings are beyond contention, and over the years it has produced a significant output that has provided guidelines for policies central to modern society. For its founders and developers, Feminist Research Methodology is designed to study the social conditions of women in a sexist, ‘malestream’ and patriarchal society. Yet, this methodology is rarely used in studies dealing with women problems in Indonesia. Thus paper aims discuss FMR and its application of the model in divorce studies.

This article of reflection problematizes the relationships between phenomenology and hermeneutics as epistemic places of research work through a documentary approach built in two phases. First, the text reflects on the terminological use present in the paradigms, approaches, epistemological perspectives, and research methods, thereby identifying that there is no criteria univocity in its references and approaches about research methodology treaties. Likewise, it is evident that there are methodological proposals that include phenomenology and hermeneutics in a complementary, articulated, or isolated way without allowing precise places of understanding that allow to locate their application in research. Based on the aforementioned, the second phase proposes an individual approach to the background and comprehensions of phenomenology and hermeneutics, identifying particularities that characterize them, possible theoretical-practical differences and approaches that can be established in view of their relevance from the epistemic and methodological framework of research in human and social sciences. This article is a translation from the Spanish version “La hermenéutica y la fenomenología en la investigación en ciencias humanas y sociales”, published in Civilizar, 19(37), 2019. doi: 10.22518/usergioa/jour/ccsh/2019.2/a09. The translation has been authorized and approved by the authors and the Editor.

This paper re-visits the problem of how we re-conceptualize human subjects within poststructuralist research. The turn to poststructuralist theory to inform research in the social sciences is complicated by the difficulty in thinking through what it means to put the subject under erasure. Drawing on a study in a Reggio Emilia inspired preschool in Sweden, and a study of neoliberalism's impact on academic work, this paper opens up thought about poststructuralism's subject. It argues that agency is the province of that subject.

The subject of analysis is the concept of holism in contemporary Polish pedagogical thought, changing its meaning in the course of the development of humanistic and social sciences. Hence, I undertake reflection on whether holistic pedagogy exists, whether possibly among its diversified theories, systems of knowledge and models there occurs a holistic approach to science, research methodology and/or educational influences.

Coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989, the term intersectionality has become the key analytic framework through which feminist scholars in various fields talk about the structural identities of race, class, gender, and sexuality. This chapter situates intersectionality within a long history of black feminist theorizing about interlocking systems of power and oppression, arguing that intersectionality is not an account of personal identity but one of power. It challenges feminist theorists, including Robyn Wiegman, Jennifer Nash, and Jasbir Puar, who have attempted to move past intersectionality because of its limitations in fully attending to the contours of identity. The chapter also maps conversations within the social sciences about intersectionality as a research methodology. Finally, it considers what it means for black women to retain paradigmatic status within intersectionality studies, whether doing so is essentialist, and therefore problematic, or whether attempts to move “beyond” black women constitute attempts at erasure and displacement.
