본 연구는 사회복지 연구의 주요 경향을 비판적으로 고찰하면서 페미니스트 인식론과 사회복지 연구의 절합을 모색하고자 한다. 구체적으로는 "한국사회복지학"에 게재된 양적 질적 연구의 주요 경향과 여성에 관한 연구를 분석하고, 방법론 및 인식론적 쟁점을 논의하면서 페미니스트 인식론의 내용과 사회복지적 함의를 살펴보았다. 페미니스트 인식론으로부터 출발하는 연구는 실증주의적 전통에서 출발하는 객관성의 개념을 재고하고, 지식구축 과정에 작용하는 권력관계와 주체-타자와의 관계를 성찰하게 하여 연구자와 연구참여자와의 민주적이고 변증법적인 관계를 새롭게 정립시킨다는 점에서 사회복지 연구에 대안적 전망을 제시할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구자들은 페미니스트 인식론과의 조우가 억압받는 사람들의 삶으로부터 사고를 시작하는 사회복지(학)의 비판적 이론과 실천적 전망을 회복시켜 줄 것이라 기대한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this article was to describe feminism and to propose the integration of a feminist method into qualitative nursing methodology in order to expand the body of nursing knowledge. Method: The world view of feminism including philosophy, epistemology and methodology was outlined, and a feminist grounded theory and feminist ethnography were suggested as a way of strengthening nursing research methodology using literature review. Results: Four different philosophical perspectives of feminism, that is, liberal feminism, radical feminism, Marxist feminism, and social feminism were described. Also epistemological perspectives including feminist empiricism, feminist standpoint, and postmodem feminism, were explained and were related to the methodology and methods of feminism. To enhance the strengths of nursing research within the feminist perspectives, feminist grounded theory and feminist ethnography were exemplified in the paradigm of qualitative nursing research. Conclusion: This paper suggested that incorporation of feminist approaches within nursing is a valuable attempt to expand the body of nursing knowledge and to enhance the quality of nursing care services by rectifying male-oriented knowledge and by empowering women in the care of other people as well as themselves.

I examine the discussions of studies related to feminist mathematics education and the implications of mathematics education in South Korea. In particular, I attempt to answer the following questions through literature reviews on feminist mathematics: What is the epistemological background of feminist mathematics education? How is feminist mathematics education defined and implemented? What does feminist mathematics education suggest in South Korea's mathematics curriculum? From the analysis of the literatures, I found that feminist mathematics education reflects not just the rights of female's rights but also a paradigm shift in epistemology of mathematics and philosophy of mathematics education. In this regard, feminist mathematics questions the existing mathematics education related to the female students who were marginalized in the composition and delivery of mathematics. Feminist mathematics education points out that in the course of the transfer of mathematical knowledge in schools, female students understand unilateral information procedurally without understanding the concept. Mathematics educators should consider alternative curricula that reflect the views of female students regarding the nature of mathematics. Students should be able to receive equal mathematics education in a school regardless of their gender. In this case, equal mathematics education refers to education methods that are suitable for both male and female students. The existing mathematics content and its teaching methods were designed based on the learning experiences of male students, which made them relatively difficult for female students to understand.

As cultural diversity has gained a great deal of attention and the social fabric of Korean society is redefined, the number of studies on multi-cultural family homes has been growing in the area of human ecology, but relevant research is rarely found on the subject of housing. While the emphasis of housing research is on multidisciplinary approaches and empirical research is highly valued, a theoretical and methodological platform for discussing the new rising agenda of multi-cultural family homes is lacking. The purpose of this study was to explore approaches to and to discuss the issues in research for multi-cultural family homes in terms of housing theories and multidisciplinary approaches. To understand the housing related needs of multi-cultural families, this study highlights social constructionism, the ecological perspective, and feminist epistemology. These three multidisciplinary approaches were useful for generating an ontological analysis of multi-cultural family homes. Further, this study highlights two housing related theories, the microsociological and housing pathways approaches, for dealing with multi-cultural family homes. In conclusion, the five approaches were useful for exploring issues in housing research on multi-cultural family homes with appropriate research methods like hermeneutics, quantitative, and qualitative methods, and field research. Insights into using perspectives and holistic approaches might be useful for solving the problems of multi-cultural family homes in Korea.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the meanings of 'Natural childbirth' from experiences of Korean women who gave birth to a baby in the midwifery using a feminist approach. Methods: This paper is a qualitative research study and applies a feminist epistemology and methodology to the experiences of women who gave birth in midwifery. The data were collected by individual in-depth interviews with eleven participants. Results: Two main themes emerged from the feminist content analyses and each main theme had three sub themes. A. transformation of control and knowledge on childbirth and the body 1) refusing coercive medicalization and building a new normality, 2) specific expectations about biological health and maternity rather than a return to nature, 3) the subject of pregnancy and childbirth, B. 'natural childbirth' practice as a new embodied discipline 1) helpers to support mothers, midwives, 2) helping the body to do 'natural childbirth', 3) from isolated labor to cooperative reproduction. Conclusion: These results indicate that women desired to practice being a subject, consultation with professionals, self-discipline and named actors except for women as 'other subjects' in childbirth.

본 연구는 양성평등을 추구하는 수학학습 프로그램 개발 연구의 일환으로서, 수학 학습 프로그램의 구성 원리와 개발방안에 대한 논의를 제공한다. 여성학적 관점에서 볼 때, 수학에서 나타나는 성별차이는 남성지배적인 수학 문화 속에서 파생된 여성의 수학은 여성의 수학적 역량에 대한 왜곡된 이해이다. 나아가 남성지배적인 수학 문화를 수용하는 학교수학은 여성의 수학적 역량을 공정하게 평가할 수 없으며 그들의 수학적 성숙을 촉진하기에 근원적인 문제점을 가지고 있다는 비판을 받는다. 이러한 관점에서, 본 연구는 여성학적 인식론과 교수법에 기반한 양성평등 수학학습 프로그램을 개발하여 여학생의 수학 참여를 증진하고 자신의 수학적 역량을 재발견할 수 있는 학습 기회를 제공하여 수학 관련 분야에서 여성 전문 인력을 양성하고 나아가 현대 사회에서의 여성의 삶의 질적 향상 및 사회적 지위향상이라는 장기적인 목표를 추구한다.

The purpose of this study was to review the conceptual framework of social constructionism and critical social constructionism in the research area of multi-cultural family homes, using a literature review. Fopp argued that social constructionism had an objectivation problem that only considered the actor side as a policy object; therefore he suggested a weaker social constructionist perspective with moderate relativism and the application of feminist epistemology to marginal life for maximizing objectivity. This article explores a conceptual framework for studying the reality of housing of multi-cultural families in Korea in the light of constructionist ideas and presents a review of empirical positivist data to support the framework. Based on results, using the social constructionist framework, five contexts (structural, institutional, organizational, operational, and intersubjective) were reviewed and ideas were suggested to develop an appropriate future situation for multi-cultural family homes. For a weaker social constructionist framework, three National Survey of Multi-Cultural Family Homes data sets were reviewed to determine the real condition of multi-cultural family homes. Further, from a feminist perspective, the empirical data of marginalized multi-cultural family homes were reviewed from the perspectives of gender inequality of decision making, cultural adaptation, and differentiation in housing related areas. In conclusion, two perspectives were useful for understanding multi-cultural family housing in Korea but must be compensated with substantial empirical data for a holistic approach.

본 연구는 50대 레즈비언의 생애사연구로서, 연구참여자가 '지식의 주체'라는 페미니스트 인식론적 입장으로부터 '레즈비언 정체성'과 '레즈비언의 삶'에 관한 지식을 생산하고자 하였다. 구술자는 동성애 섹슈얼리티가 본질적이고 태생적인 것이 아니라 "만들어진 것"이라는 생애사적 관점을 견지했으며, 구술자가 들려준 생애이야기는 동성애에 할당된 사회적 의미를 체현하고 '순응하는 몸'인 동시에 억압과 차별을 인식하고 타개하고자 실천하는 '저항하는 몸'에 관한 것이었다. 이 생애이야기에는 섹스-젠더-섹슈얼리티의 자연화된 고리를 끊어낼 만큼 고통스러웠던 화상과 '불완전한 몸'이라는 자의식으로부터 상처받은 삶의 굴곡뿐만 아니라, 이를 넘어 타자에게 진정으로 공감하고 위로하는 "복받은 몸"으로 의미를 재구성하는 놀라운 탄력성까지 오롯이 담겨져 있었다. 이렇게 연구참여자를 비정상과 병리 등의 의미가 부착된 이분법적 구분의 '성적 소수자'가 아니라, 사회적 불평등과 억압에서도 자신의 삶을 탄력적으로 살아가며 일상의 실천으로 변화를 만들어내는 주체적인 행위자로서 이해하는 것은 사회복지 이론과 실천에서 전혀 다른 전망을 요구한다. "젠더와 섹슈얼리티를 어떻게 배치해할 것인가?"에 대한 전환적인 모색은 새로운 시대에 당면한 사회복지학이 제시해야 하는 중대한 전망이며, 이는 '성적 소수자'에게만 할당된 이슈가 아니라, 사회의 권력관계와 위계구조를 조직하고 억압과 불평등을 영속화하는 섹슈얼리티와 이에 연동하는 젠더에 관한 '우리 모두'의 아젠다인 것이다.
