Situating Knowledge: Donna Haraway And Feminist Standpoint Theory

Donna Haraway’s “Situated Knowledges” posits that knowledge is not objective but rather shaped by the social positions of those who produce it. It challenges the traditional notion of objectivity and epistemology, arguing that all knowledge is partial and situated in a particular context. Feminist standpoint theory provides a framework for understanding knowledge from the perspectives of marginalized groups. This approach critiques traditional understandings of science and has implications for research design, methodology, and the understanding of knowledge production and dissemination.
