在 COVID -19 危机中进行女权主义纵向研究：对柬埔寨研究人员和服装工人的闻所未闻的影响

本文基于ReFashion研究，该研究使用混合方法纵向研究来跟踪和放大柬埔寨200名女性服装工人在应对COVID-19大流行的财务影响时的经验和应对机制。它通过重新集中柬埔寨研究人员和研究参与者经常被边缘化的知识和认识方式，发展了“女权主义纵向研究”（FLR）的理念和实践。从他们的经验中听到和学习揭示了在非常危机的时候参与纵向研究的“做”的劳动和护理工作，以及在学术研究的范围内和范围外可能出现的女权主义意识提高和团结的潜力。本文倡导地理学家和其他社会科学家超越纵向研究中参与者“流失”和“保留”的技术框架问题，以更具创造性和批判性的方式思考纵向研究的过程及其对参与者的意义。FLR不仅证明了一种现象的时间偶然性性别影响，但可以通过其意图和/或挑战父权制现状的潜力来区分，无论是在研究人员还是参与者的生活中。
This paper is based on the ReFashion study which used mixed‐method longitudinal research to track and amplify the experiences and coping mechanisms of 200 women garment workers in Cambodia as they navigated the financial repercussions of the COVID‐19 pandemic. It develops the idea and practice of ‘feminist longitudinal research’ (FLR) through re‐centring the too often marginalised knowledges and ways of knowing of Cambodian researchers and research participants. Hearing and learning from their experiences reveal the labours and care‐work involved in the ‘doing’ of longitudinal research during a time of extraordinary crisis, and the potential for feminist consciousness raising and solidarity that can arise both within and beyond the confines of an academic study. The paper advocates for geographers and other social scientists to go beyond technically‐framed issues of participant ‘attrition’ and ‘retention’ in longitudinal studies to think more creatively and critically about the process of longitudinal research and what it means for those taking part in it. FLR not only evidences the temporally contingent gendered impacts of a phenomenon, but can be distinguished by its intentionality and/or potential to challenge the patriarchal status quo, both in the lives of researchers and participants.
