Abstract

WEMC combines research, capacity building and communication. Our long term goal is to bring about transformations in the structural conditions that shape women’s lived realities. Research in WEMC is not just to produce knowledge but to implement knowledge for action. Due to social and political obstacles, and my personal constraints, my research in Guangzhou failed to realize the goal of engagement in action. In my presentation, I will first spell out the benefits of the WEMC research framework for my analysis, and then I will discuss the challenges posed by our transformative research agenda. This presentation is meant to be a self-critique in participating in research with a transformative agenda which does not end with action.
