Abstract

This chapter offers a reflexive exploration of the process and experience of undertaking collaborative feminist research into gender equality in higher education, as an interdisciplinary, international research team. We see this endeavour as an essential complement to the formal focus of our investigation by ensuring the integrity of our research in line with our shared feminist politics. Methodologically, our insights around collective reflection, acknowledgement of positionality, and identified outcomes of this offer a tool for colleagues wishing to similarly cast light on their own research journeys, particularly those carried out in collaboration as part of interdisciplinary, international, and/or online teams. We discuss insights that link to issues of communication, connectedness and humanisation, embodiment, and ethics. In doing so we draw on relevant theoretical perspectives from post-structural feminism to Butler and Foucault. We conclude by reflecting on what we have gained through our approach alongside the recognition that this inevitably remains an ongoing and never completed process of reflexivity in all feminist research.
