Donna Haraway（1991）的局部知识或情境知识的概念对地理学中的女性主义方法论争论产生了重大影响。在本文中，我认为，地理学家可以通过开发研究设计，结合来自不同的认识论传统的方法来询问的知识。可以探索数据集之间的沉默和差距，以询问在不同理论和方法背景下产生的知识的差异。此外，解释方法论的倡导者可以通过证明所有方法的结果是不完整的，并且受到充满权力和实证性的解释的影响，从而大大增加对认识论的理论辩论。使用不同的方法是突出这一问题并挑战主流学术界和政策界实证主义科学霸权的一种方式。
Donna Haraway’s (1991) concept of partial or situated knowledges has been a major influence on feminist methodological debates within geography. In this paper, I argue that geographers can interrogate the partiality of knowledge by developing research designs that incorporate methods derived from different epistemological traditions. The silences and gaps between data sets can be explored to interrogate the partiality of knowledge produced in different theoretical and methodological contexts. Also, advocates of interpretive methodologies can add substantially to theoretical debates over epistemology by demonstrating how the results from all methods are incomplete and subject to power – and positionality – laden interpretations. Using different methods is one way to highlight this issue and to challenge the hegemony of positivist science within mainstream academic and policy circles.
