However, the advances made by feminism have done little to improve the ratio of men and women working in political research. This is supposed to be a result of the fact that feminism has thrown wide the net of diversity and that the methods currently in use must be adapted in order to be inclusive. If we fail to recognise each research subject as a racial, gendered, classed and sexual being, we invalidate our research and ultimately propagate assumptions of gender bias, sexism, racism and class conflict.
