Annotated online bibliography on feminist theory


Our working group hosts a collaborative annotated bibliography in progress that all of our members can add to. Why do we need one? Because there are no existing research tools for locating feminist scholarship in our fields. In addition, our educations probably fell short in this area. So we are assembling the required reading for the seminar that we never got to take on feminist approaches to folkore and ethnology. And this is important, because a centralized, accessible, searchable, exportable bibliography of feminist scholarship in folklore and ethnology will help us situate our own work and build on existing ideas.

This is more than a collection of PDF’s, it is a bibliographical database. The Zotero tool allows us to tag entries with keywords and to add abstracts. Our aim is to annotate all entries with a short abstract outlining how the main ideas of the indexed work are relevant to the working group’s focus. But to make this dream a reality, we need the help of all of our members. Please have a look at our instructions and get involved!
