On our own terms

Abstract

This paper reports on a systematic literature review of CAIS/ACSI and ASIS&T conferenceproceedings in order to identify, analyze, and map the presence and application of feministtheories, methods, and epistemologies across a sample of LIS research projects. We seek a betterunderstanding of the application of feminist theories to LIS in order to a) identify how/where ithas been taken up (and not taken up); b) identify feminist research themes and influence overtime and across sub-domains; and perhaps most importantly, c) to consider how we might buildon intersectional feminist theories and praxis in LIS in order to move toward a criticalintersectional femiLISt movement that is embraced and embedded within our field.
