standpoint theory  

Definición

  • Standpoint theory is a feminist theoretical perspective that argues that knowledge always stems from social position and that to get the best vantage point about the world, inquiries need to be based in the lives of women and other marginalized people. The perspective denies that traditional science is objective and suggests that research and theory has ignored and marginalized women and women's ways of thinking.
